This little space.

     I realize my posts here have been random and spontaneous. 

I will be honest,I'm pretty bad about actually sitting down,uploading pictures,

and typing out a blog post. It is something I have to make myself sit down and do.

 Not because I don't enjoy it. I do. I just often face a lack of words to describe my feelings,

or a lack of inspiration. Sometimes I wonder if what I write is even of interest to anyone. 

Until now,I really couldn't decide exactly what I want this blog to be. 

I know I want it to be happy. 

A place of connection. A place of encouraging thoughts,

and yet still a place for me to connect and share my personal life,thoughts,and ideas.

Photography is a passion of mine,so of course there has to be a lot of that too! 

The blogs that I read are mainly photography,or homemaking,

or just wonderful cliches of amazing things I love. 

Often I find myself comparing my little corner to the others on this big Internet world.

I get discouraged,and then I quit posting. 

    So here's to a new year. 

This year this little blog is going to be exactly what I want it to be. 

It is going to be a part of my life,like a journal.

I want to document the things in my personal life(but not too much) and offer inspiration to others. 

I want this to be an encouraging place. A inspiring place. 

A place of crafting,photography,random whimsy,color,laughter,joy,food,happiness,and of course faith in this wonderful Jesus I've found. 

This is going to be my place. My happy place. 

I want to share with you,the precious things that I am privileged to experience,

in hopes that you will create your own happy place. 

Here's to the new year on This Lovely Life!
