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

Forever Is Composed of Nows

I began my 2017 summer with a single thought: live in the now. I heard someone respond to that with, "No one can always live in the now." That person was correct, and so very wrong. Over the last few... Continue Reading →

For the Love Of…Pictures

I've always wanted to be better at photography. So, this month I tried my hand at it. I'll admit I didn't do the greatest job. I didn't bother studying ways to be better. I didn't bother trying to hone the... Continue Reading →

Through the Enchanted Forest

  I haven't felt much for writing this week so I needed to get my juices flowing. Grabbed a writing prompt out of my proverbial hat. I don't know where this is going. But, I'm gonna have fun with it.... Continue Reading →

Working Through Grief

Today I threw a Fall Social. I'm around these people all day and I never see them so I forced the interaction. One of my friends laughed at me yesterday because she said, "I never see you but when I... Continue Reading →
