Overcoming and Finding Balance....

Hey y'all, So, this is a very personal post for me because I really struggle with overcoming a lot of different things. After posting my last blog, I got to thinking what can I write about next. The Biggest thing, scariest thing for me, overcoming all obstacles. I have really struggled with overcoming fears I have, which are numerous to say the least. I have been able to overcome things in just the past year and a half, but I did not do it on my own. I had and still have help from others. I work in retail, and deal with anxiety attacks and with depression. I love meeting new people and making friends, but I am extremely quiet. But I do enjoy dancing, singing, hiking, camping, shopping on occasion, and just simply getting out of the house. It sure sounds like I deal with anxiety, right? Well, I am a super sensitive person, something that feels like a gift and a curse in today's world. There are many times where I feel like I need to be locked up and hidden from the world bec...

Forgiveness....

Okay. Sorry for the delay in getting this blog post out, life isn't giving me too much time to think or write. So, I have been praying about this post and I hope that this helps you guys. Lately the one thing that keeps coming to my mind is taking offense, holding a grudge, and forgiving or not forgiving. I have held grudges against others in my life, because I felt offended by something they have said to me or an action towards me. Here's the thing, I will hold a grudge but it's not long before our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ remind me that there's no need to feel offended and that I need to let go of the grudge I am holding. They remind me that I am not doing as they ask of me, "Love one another". When I am holding a grudge I am full of anger towards that other person, what good am I doing when I am like that? Absolutely no good. Not too long ago, I found myself holding a grudge towards a manager of mine, at the time. They had asked me to do so...

Loving Ourselves and Loving Others....

So, these past few weeks I have been perplexed about something. I have been hearing a lot about the need to love ourselves in order to love others. I haven't ever really struggled with loving others unconditionally, ever! I have always been happy being me. Yeah, I will admit that I would like somethings to be different about my body, but I am not going to do anything stupid to get those things.  I am very happy with who I am and my physical body. My body is a blessing to me. It houses my spirit, and is something that my Heavenly Father and Savior made just for me. It amazes me the things that They do for us. They help us to learn and grow, but we must be willing to first listen to the guidance of the Holy Ghost. Anyway, that was a bit off track. So, I was trying to understand what a few people have been telling me about loving myself, for several weeks. I don't really put myself down, there are times where I wish I had more book smarts, but I am very much okay with the knowledg...

Me....

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I am not much of a writer and not one who is into a lot of technology, so this is going to be a new experience for me, and one that terrifies me. ;) I am not going to use my name or the names of others or post any pictures of myself or my family. I will post pictures of things I want to share but nothing more than that. I want people to understand me and see me through the words I write. I am a very happy person most of the time, I will admit that I have my days like everyone else, but I can not stand to be miserable for long periods of time. I am a sensitive person, but I am very glad to be sensitive. I find my strengths through my being sensitive. Being a sensitive person, this day in age seems to be a bad thing, making those of us who are sensitive feel weak, powerless, unheard, and invisible. I hope that this blog can help others find comfort and strength in whatever part of their life they need.      I am a Latter-Day Saint, aka a Mormo...
