Discovering joy in the hard places

Dear Younger Me, So Many Voices

Dear Younger Me,

As a child you don’t mind other people making decisions for you or giving you advice.

As an adult you desire help from others when making big decisions, but your faced with A LOT of different opinions.

Part of your job is to somehow listen to them, but know when you should act on the advice or just listen.

Nothing is more confusing than hearing the valued people in your life go in different directions and advise you in a way you don’t want.

Sometimes you just have to go with what you know is best, what God gives you peace over.

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.
