The only reason I started this blog was to lift and to bless.  Definitely myself, and hopefully others as well.  I like to think that each day we are given a chance to grow and improve on the one before, thank goodness!     I don’t like the panic I sometimes feel when this thought pops into my head, “what am I doing with my life”. 

I love watching things grow, including people.  We have all been given unique talents.  I think mine is the ability to work with and appreciate the simple beauty in the things that surround me.  Those times when I feel stuck are an indicator that it’s time to do something new.  Here at my mid + point of my life I want to continue moving forward, minus the panic, maybe by an inch, but forward. Harnessing passion is a great gift my wise friend taught me.  Different stages come, adjustments need to be made, but passion can still exists until this life is through.  I find the best way to grow is by being engaged, filling life with good things that matter, that bring JOY, and build lasting relationships.  I plan to make the best use of my time while I’m here.  This life’s road can be bumpy, I have definitely stumbled along the way, but filling it with good friends smooths out those bumps.  In The Growing Blog we will plant some things, write some things, remember some things, laugh at some things, make some things,  and hopefully learn some things.  Know you are welcome on this journey with me.  If not, I wish you all the best!  Anyway…off we grow!
