Sharing the love

so apparently I am not a savvy blogger because I was given an award... that I was not aware existed before... but it, people, is legit. What is this award, you may wonder? 


check it out. holla. 


the OTHER Liz, who writes a sassy and fun blog about her every day adventures, was quite a gem for giving me The Award!


BUT, let's get down the the business of this whole thing:



If you have been awarded the coveted Liebster award, here's what's next:
  • Choose five up and coming blogs with less than 200 followers to award. Make sure and notify them by comment or e-mail that you did so.
  • Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them. If you're not already a follower of their blog, that might be a great way to show appreciation for the award. :) 
  • Post the award on your blog, and be sure to link back to the 5 blogs you awarded, so that others can visit them




so, without further ado:




Lenses and Lookingglasses is a lovely combination of heart and photography, a great expression of passion and life. Do yourself a favor and delve into the archives of this blog. You won't be sorry.


No Zebras Here chronicles the adventures of my new friend Jenny who is currently expanding her horizons and sharing the love of Christ in tangible ways in the deserts of Niger. 


Clara, not only married one of my buddies from Bible school and now has an a.dorable child, but also has a great knack for capturing the moment, as documented on her fabulous Photography Blog. 


Brooke Shoko  I found through this Blog of Note back in the day (stalker, i know), is a twenty something who travels all over the world, works in fun places, and studies sometimes. 


My Irish Friend, Leah, is not only my music buddy but also has a darling blog about life and love and all things beautiful. She is currently studying away, but still finds time to share her inspirations :) 




PS. I feel that Bethanne (who I might have shocked ever so slightly as a freshman) and Amelia (who is quite clever and motivated and crafty and has an adorable family) are also quite worthy of note! Go love on them. :) 




PSS... I am not sure where all of these words like "darling, adorable, clever" came from, but I think I will blame them on South Africa.






also, happy new year from me and my redneck Beast  :)

nothing new [under the sun]

I feel like I am in a transition place. waiting. planning. carrying on with "normal" life. anticipating the changes that the future holds. just trying to get laundry done and keep the dishes washed and the bags out of the way of foot traffic. I feel like I have been blessed with so much.   a great support network of friends. awesome church family. job = perfect for me. so many opportunities to satisfy my wanderlust this year. the black hills in my back yard. family who love Christ and love me.  that's why I was a little surprised to find myself searching. to find myself dissatisfied . i wanted more  places to go. more people to spend time with. longer nights. everyone's schedule planned around me. better experiences. more adrenaline thrills. time off work. the responsibilities to take care of themselves. why is it not enough?  because i found myself seeking for attention  or acceptance  or satisfaction anywhere other than fro...

Hello (a long, rambling introduction).

If you have been reading this blog for longer than two seconds, you most likely have been with me for some pretty painful blogging years (let's be real: they probably aren't over). Those early days -yikes. I have long held to the personal principal that I started this blog for fun, and that's how I want to keep it -however weird it may get at times. I don't want to feel like I have to produce content to keep up the page views or to sell a product or to get some Pinterest pins.  I think (ok KNOW) part of that is due to pride. In other words, if I am not feeling like I have anything to publish here that will be The Best, and get a lot of shares or comments or ... whatever... then I don't want to do it. A lot of what Amelia wrote recently resonated with me in that regard. I read a lot of blogs. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who blog. I am guilty of condescendingly rolling my internal eye-balls at people I feel like are just blogging to get the page c...
