I have attempted to start a blog 5 times. I am not joking. Each time I think “This time will be different”, but, it’s not. I get a really great idea in my head and the next thing I know it doesn’t seem that great anymore. Each time I start writing about my experiences I think who really wants to read about what I have to say? Most people barely have enough time in the day to even sit down and read a good book yet alone read about what I have to say (even though it is gong to be really exciting!). However, after multiple times of starting and stopping, writing and re-writing, this is what I have decided… I will do things that make me happy, I will not let my fear of what I think others expectations are stop me from attainting my goals, I will be bold in my imagination and express myself through this blog! So here it is, enjoy!
* My goal for this blog is express my ideas and thoughts and passions. This is place for me to show what I have been learning, what is exciting and new and mostly just a place for me to be me, completely genuine. So basically, read more if your interested, if not don’t read any further get off the computer and do something that is important to you.
* Terms and conditions may change depending on circumstances and my mood.
A few things you should know about me:
I love to be active. I have a need to physically exert myself before I feel like I accomplished something for the day. You know that feeling you get when you are running and you feel like you can’t possibly take another step and may possibly pass out if you do? Well I enjoy that. I enjoy the endorphins.
My family is my rock. I live within a 10 mile radius of my sisters (all four of them) and my parents. I like this. It makes it easy to stop by during lunch breaks, pick up eggs and produce at my parents (more on this later) and go hiking and grab a bite to eat on the weekends. With family you can show up at their door unannounced, crying your eyeballs out, eat their food, leave them for a boy and they still love you. I know I’ve done it all. For this I am grateful!
I use exclamation points entirely too much.
I am a horrible speller! (Needless to say Spell Check is my special friend).
I live a gluten free life! My husband and I booth have Celiac, a disease in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged from eating gluten and other proteins found in wheat and other grains. My Celiac shows up in dermatitis herpetiformis, meaning that when I eat wheat or gluten I get a really bad itchy-as-all-get-out rash. When my husband eats wheat/gluten he gets sick with stomach pains and other related symptoms. Therefore, our house is gluten free! I will touch more on this in another post because basically I could just keep going on and on and…
Baking, high heels and San Pellegrino, yes all at once. I get in these moods where I just want to bake. When this happens there is no stopping me. Making not only one desert but two or three usually satisfies my urge. I put on a pair of my cute high heels, one of my many aprons and open a bottle of San Pellegrino and start sorting through cook books and baking blogs trying to find something that catches my fancy. Someday I will do this for a living; buy cute shoes that is :)
I am a happy person. I am a people pleaser. I do not like confrontation, unless it is on my terms.
In this venture I strive to become a better, more loving and caring person with more empathy and compassion for others. With that said I also am searching for me, the true Caitlin who is completely genuine and true to herself. I am working on it. With help from my peeps and the Lord I know I will get there.
I leave it at this.
Thank you for taking time to read.
Today: Think about what you would if you had no fears.
