One day I sat around quietly, When a little bug perched on my knee. I waved my arms quite vigorously Shouting, "There ain't nuttin' to see! Go fly off to some lonely tree!" The little bug stood defiantly. My brow then furrowed angrily, As the little bug refused to flee. It was time to rid him from me. I prepped my finger to flick that bee (or perhaps it was a little flea), And found out surprisingly, That the little bug was actually debris, That had fallen from my BLT Whitney Thayne

If I say it enough, If it's sprinkled with sugar, Will you tell me what to do God? If I sob and cry, If crocodile tears leak out, Will you tell me what to do God? If I pray all day, If I live on my knees, Will you tell me what to do God? God are you there? God are you listening? Please, I still don't know what to do.

It is cruel and cunning. It is a monster. It attacks the brain and kills the very will of its victims as it feeds off their energy. I have been the prey of this conniving beast many times and I have lived to tell the tale. Heed my words and you may too. This pitiless monster attacks when its prey least expects it. It strikes as victims are focused on deadlines and responsibilities. Never does it attack on weekends or during leisure time. That would be too kind. No one is really sure of its point of entry, but the beast attacks from inside its victims’ bodies. This monster begins small. No larger than an innocent little pea. However, with prolonged habitation in a human body, the beast grows to formidable size. The monster, at first appears harmless. It enters the brain and begins to fill it with thoughts. The human’s mind flits like a hummingbird from one useless thought to the next. The smallest instances cause the victim to grind its teeth and furrow ...

So I have been inspired to blog. I've been feeling rather blah about "blah"-ging lately. My inspiration is my beautiful friend Karissa ( link ), a letter to my other astounding friend Courtney, a long past conversation with my amazing friend Kendall ( link ) and the movie (yes I know the book is better, I just haven't read it yet) Tuesdays With Morrie. We need people. They don't only make life easier, but we truly need them. God did not mean for us to live this life alone. I used to think that I didn't need anyone. I was strong enough that as long as I had Christ that I could make it. What I didn't see was that sometimes I couldn't have Christ directly. I needed Christ through others. "If you don't have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don't have much at all. Love is so supremely important." ( Tuesdays With Morrie ). Without love from others life is hard. We need people around us w...

(stolen from the BYU Women's Services and Resources blog ) Most women who end up in abusive relationships saw the trouble coming before it all hit the fan, but turned a blind eye to the signs, thinking they weren’t a big deal or that they would go away once rings were on fingers. The unfortunate fact that we as women usually end up ignoring the signs of problematic relationships is the capstone of really deep, hard issues: women want to be loved. We want to believe the best in people. We want to help people change. These noble desires can be a recipe for disaster if we don’t check them. Often, we have to do a lot of ignoring to make the feelings that a relationship is bad news go away: our family, friends, and especially our hearts seem to notice red flags pretty quickly. James E. Faust quotes: “Someone once said we should keep our eyes wide open before marriage and half shut afterward.” He goes on to say that often it is the other way around—and what a shame. We must keep our eyes...

Okay I love rings and check out these pretty specimens I found online at Pineapple Seed . This ring has "persevere" written in Thai. Simple and meaningful. Simple, sophisticated and sexy. Sterling silver band with a square ruby set stone. The Karma ring features layers of brushed silver reminiscent of an infinite loop. The unique wrapped design creates a bold statement piece that complements any occasion. I love these rings... *sigh*
