why I blog

I have had quite a time deciding how I want to do this blogging thing. 

I first found my love for writing on my church of Jesus Christ mission, writing weekly letters about all the things I was learning, doing, and experiencing in Germany. 

It was a time for reflection and creativity and I looked forward to it and loved sharing it with the world. 

Since then, I have tried all other sorts of writing outlets.
 And all roads lead back to blogging. 

This is the space where I feel like I have a purpose in writing, where I am not told what or how to write. It is a creative outlet for me. It is a way I feel I can give and show a new approach to living a healthy life.

True, I love exercise. 
Yes, I love nutrition. 
Traveling is so eye opening and rewarding.
I like a cute house and cute clothes.

Basically all those things most people blog about... 
(and yes, I blog about those things too)

But there is so much more to life! 

All those things are to enhance the way we live rather than become our life. My hope is that you can see how these things are a part of a fulfilling life of intentional living. 


Welcome to my mind. Welcome to my life.
