“Living Beautiful”

http://www.tolivebeautiful.blogspot.com

Because I live so far away from my family and friends, I began blogging to keep them updated. It’s fun to tell stories of my day and share pictures of where we have been. I used to travel with a band and we have collected a few hilarious pictures and stories of our travels. I love to write and entertain; blogging is a great way to share thoughts and life with other people. Recently, I began the Living Beautiful blog (http://tolivebeautiful.blogspot.com), which focuses on reminding and encouraging women that they are beautiful. The official website is: http://www.ToLiveBeautiful.com. I blog because I am an encourager and people need to be encouraged!!!

My Living Beautiful blog shares my struggles with being human. I’m selfish and have time management issues… I’m a wife and mom, I have friends who are dealing with TOUGH breakups and I have blogged about how unfair it seems. I have also invited my friends to share their stories of how they are trying to live a beautiful life.

If you haven’t written in a while, don’t apologize for not writing in a few days or a few weeks. When people read through your blog – they don’t know that you have been away for a few weeks! Be as consistant as you can be – but don’t make blogging your number one priority in life. Take care of your family first , and then you’ll have LOTS of stories to tell and thoughts to write out!

I love meeting new people, but am not very good at ongoing conversations via comments. Hey, there’s always something I can work on! E-mail works better for me…

Yes! Because I have been around the US, Canada and parts of Europe, we have made dear friends from all over the world. Blogging is a great way to keep everyone updated without having to e-mail hundreds of family/friends!

I have a little MacBook and can whip it our wherever I happen to be… on my bed, on the couch, at the kitchen table, in the van, vising my family in PA or my husbands family in CA. I don’t have a specific time when I blog… just whenever I get inspired and want to share my thoughts!

A few guys in the band I work for (downhere.com) were starting to blog and I thought they were crazy and wasting their time…. now, over four years laster, I have over 4 blogs and 2 websites … and I don’t consider one second wasted.

I love the outdoors and traveling. In 2001 I spent a few months in Colorado Springs and got enough inspiration to last a lifetime! Being out in God’s amazing creation reminds me of how much He loves me and takes care of me. I cannot get enough snow-capped mountains, oceans, hillsides, valleys… sunsets, full moons, breezy summer nights…
