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

Be Made Strong

Yesterday was the Day of National Prayer. I wanted to write so many things yesterday: of being thankful, of love, of God's grace, of family and friends, of finding home with the sound of the waves. Too many ideas that... Continue Reading →

What I Have Chosen

The piano plays a sweet lullaby trying to entice me to sleep. The beauty of the hymn takes me back to days that were simple, less complicated. But, just like that, 3-2-1 I'm snapped out of my reverie to what... Continue Reading →

The Depth of a Bloodline

Sometimes I think about my past, my mistakes and wonder how it affected my family. Family isn't just an important thing. Family is everything. I sit here trying to sort feelings in me that I'm not certain I understand. The only... Continue Reading →

A Forest Walk

I'd like to take a walk in the forest. To feel the wind graze my face with all the essence it has captured on the way to me. I want to walk in the forest to hear the buzzing of... Continue Reading →
