Celebrating Randomness

My blog is random.

I love showing you guys funny things I'm in to and even the funny things I'm NOT into. I get so much joy out of telling you all about my son and all of the the wild things he says; my husband and how sweetly ornery he is (I don't blog about him very often cause he just doesn't "get" blogging and therefore doesn't trust it!). I usually can't wait to tell you what hit me during my quiet times (QT), how stressed and confused I am or even how the Lord is convicting me in one area or another. I get excited to tell you guys about how I decorated something or how I hit the jackpot garage saleing or antiquing. I even like tell you guys little secrets or oddities about myself - no matter how embarrassing they are!

I read all these other blogs that have central themes: decorating, adoption, trying to conceive, Biblical womanhood, their children, thrifting, crafting, cooking, baking, books, faith, God, cancer, illness, healing, raising teenagers, Baptist life (yes, I'm a dork and follow quite a few of these), special needs children, saving money, living simply.

All the advice in the world for a "successful" blog tells you to "focus on one thing" or have "a set topic".

Obviously, I've gone a different route.

I really want this to be a successful blog with lots of followers and lots of comments but I'm not willing to compromise what I really want to blog about just to focus on one aspect of my life.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it- this blog DOES have a set focus!

My Life!

My life is random.

Messy.

Funny.

Dramatic.

Difficult.

Simple.

Faithful.

Challenging.

Blessed.

So what if this blog doesn't take off and become the next

Pioneer Woman, Like A Warm Cup of Coffee or Nesting Place!

(nothing against them - i picked 'em cause they have super popular blogs)

It's a place for me to express myself.

To share my life.

To connect with my readers on a personal level.

Ladies, what you see here is me.

THE REAL ME.

Just like in real life, I don't have a filter.

I just live out loud.

Take it or leave it, I live out loud.

So to my readers (all 4 of you) - thank you. You're the best. I appreciate the time you've invested in me and I hope that you feel like I've invested in you.
