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 Season of Hope

This holiday season has already been an amazing time but it got better today. It's been a pretty dry fall/winter. But today, on Christmas Eve morning, snow fell. Shortly before church started the snow started falling and let me tell... Continue Reading →

Snow Dance

Leavenworth, WA - 6" of snow. Bellingham, WA - 2" of snow. Vancouver, WA - just water. This time last year we had snow. And as the first day of winter begins in less than 24 hours I'm chomping at... Continue Reading →

Alan

This morning when I pulled into my parking lot I noticed something I never noticed before: a gate surrounding the vent on the east side of my building. There it was in its shiny black metal brilliance blocking the warmth... Continue Reading →

When The World Laughs With You

Yesterday I made the decision that I will get up when my alarm goes off no matter how tired or grouchy I am. Yesterday was a good day. This morning? I wanted to break my brand new phone. I was... Continue Reading →

How To Get Out Of A Ticket

The other night I was following a car that was going 25 in a 30 mph zone. It's not that slow but at 930p after a long day at work, a session immediately right after and keeping up with preschoolers... Continue Reading →

Anger Issues

The other day I read something on social media that set my heart racing. I mean, these days there's a lot of things on social media that are pretty ridiculous. But, this time, this one hit close to home. Someone... Continue Reading →

A New Year

I've been watching you. I know, it sounds creepy, but I like watching you. When you're eating. When you're playing your games. When you're creating a piece of your RC. Recently I got to watch you hang out with a... Continue Reading →

For The Love of Thankfulness

As I breezed through the month of November I made sure, like others, to be thankful. Thankful for life, love and happiness. Thankful for pain, distress, and sadness. Thankful for growth, loss and everything in between. Like fall the seasons of... Continue Reading →
