So it begins....

Why start this blog? This last week my life began to make a shift. Maybe it is all the Christmas music, the snow, or the twinkling lights on every corner. Maybe it's the smiling faces you see come out once a year on people that during any other month would rather ignore you than talk to you. I think it has been a collimation of a few things that has brought me to this sobering point - I am a one way street.
Let me explain what that means to me. Even though I feel like all I do is give, give, give.... I really don't give anything of real worth. Don't get me wrong, I feel like I am a good, and on some days great, mother. I give to my kids my love, freely and so much that I am that good kind of empty at the end of the day. I love my husband, and in my mind and heart would do anything for him to lift his burdens or ease his load. I love my family. I love my church. I love my Savior. I know all of this. What I don't know is how I can change the way I do all of that. I want to do better, I want to BE better.
This blog is my way of holding myself accountable. I will write about my journey. I will write about the way I am bettering myself, my life, my kids, my marriage.... but most of all, how I can touch the lives of those around me and make a difference. Large or small, both of equal importance. Here we go......
