Why I Blog

A reminder (to myself) why I spend so much time in this space

..........................................

Over the weekend my husband and I had a lot of time to talk. Something we haven't had much time for in the recent month. He asked me, "So, why do you blog?" I gave him a quick answer of something along the lines of, "well, because it's fun," and moved on. I didn't think much of it at first, but that question just  lingered in the back of my mind. Then I read a post by After Nine to Five and decided I needed  to take a step back. Think. and give an honest answer from my heart.

So, here's why I blog:

• Because it is fun.
• So I will  remember such moments like this one and this one
• To bring peace, refocus and intention into my life
• So I may share in and learn from a like-minded community
• To make friends and meet people I would never have the privlage of meeting in daily life, such as this awesome person, and this person
• To inspire myself and hopefully others
• To broaden me as a person, expand my horizons and work on a skill I enjoy
• Because it helps me feel brave enough to share my creations, my dreams, my life. 
• To document my ideas, recipes and all things that make my life worth living.

So why do you blog?

Solo Aqui::7 Confessions

This post was inspired by MINDIANNA, who was inspired by Pretty Zoo.

1.) Some think it's creepy, others think it's cool, but yes I went to school to learn how to be a clown (:

2.) I love movies, although now I don't have much time to watch any, there are some movies that I just love to watch over and over again. Like Under the Tuscan Sun, Princess Bride and Kinky Boots!

3.) I am a little ashamed of this, but the dessert I love the most in the whole entire world is a snow cone. My favorite flavor is cherry and vanilla mixed. Sp sweet and yummy!

4.) I buy most of my clothing, and my family's too,  from thrift stores. You can check out my thoughts on thrifting, reuse, and more on Final Clothes-Out's blog next week.

5.) I love animals, especially birds. Currently we have a 12 year-old cockatiel named Griffin (I liked Harry Potter a lot when I named him...um when I was like 15?), plus all of our wild bird friends in our yard.

6.) I am a Girl Scout...still.  I joined Girl Scouts of the USA when I was in Kindergarten and stayed in through Senior Year of High School. My parents bought me a lifetime membership when I completed my Gold Award (sigh, it's like the Eagle Award of Boy Scouts).

7.) My husband and I can dance. No, really! We used to teach Cha-Cha lessons for our college! And, oh man...he is a good dancer.
