Refining Life's Ragged Edges

I seriously hate writing about me. What do you tell people? The customary who I am, where I'm from? Those are all well and fine but gets kinda redundant, doesn't it? If you want to know me, come read a long. I'm an open book - or at least try to be. I try to write a little about everything. I should one day find my niche, one day. I figure, if I keep writing eventually it’ll come. Mostly I write to help inspire. This world can be a pretty damn scary place to live in. The hate crimes. The sexual violence. The bombings and shootings. I want to be able to shed some hope. Even just a sliver. Something to help someone take another step in their day. I started this blog in the hopes I could help change a dark and hatred filled world. I'm not exactly sure I'm actually doing it or not. But, I'm trying. I also write to get the practice I need. Sometimes I’ll be sweet and awe inspiring. Other times I’ll show a bit of my true self with some dripping sarcasm and stupid humor. Then there are other times I just don’t make sense. Bear with me! When you come across my page, please feel free to leave me comments - about anything. Open forum. Open door. Open, open, open. I like having discussions about feelings (ya right) and hearing opinions of others about what I write. And other times, it’s just nice to know that someone out there goes through some of the same things I do. Thanks bunches in taking the time to stop on by! ~Pearls xoxo

The Adoption Journey

I alluded to it on the last two posts but my husband and I are considering adoption. Two years ago we were well on our way – well, not really. We talked with agencies and was preparing for classes and... Continue Reading →

Bring It On 2017

As the 2016 year began to close I became excited because there is something about 2017 that excites me. I've talked about my bucket list. I've talked about my hopes and my dreams. I've talked about my reading list. But,... Continue Reading →

Assessing the Fear

I planned to write something witty and funny and completely out of character for my last post of the year. But, instead I want to talk about fear. Yesterday I awoke with a heavy uneasiness. I couldn't explain it. My... Continue Reading →

2016 Year In Review

It's that time of year again where the world celebrates. Everyone is thinking of New Year Resolutions. Some New Year Resolves. Others laughing in merriment as they look back at what they were able to do. And there are some,... Continue Reading →

Tis The Season

 For Christmas my family and I decided to go into Downtown Portland to celebrate. The area was beautiful and we were able to see the river in all its beauty. The difference this year was the kids wanted to reenact... Continue Reading →

A New Educated Generation

My favorite time as a young girl was the imagination of life. I remember riding around the front yard of my home in Seattle. I played by myself a lot because my sister's thought I was too young and I... Continue Reading →
