Hello Everyone!,
I feel like the most appropriate way to begin a blog is to first describe the purpose-some people do this to share their kids' most treasured memories, some do it to relay their wreckless escapades or exciting trips, and some do this to simply advertise or express their thoughts. So..what's MY purpose?
A year ago exactly, my darling grandmother, whom we affectionately referred to in my family as "Nana", went to meet her Maker in Heaven. Having been very close to her, and practically raised by her, this was a difficult event for me to bear. I searched desperately for anything I could find from her-a note, a message, anything that she could leave me to give me direction for my life. I claimed her Bible carrying case and several letters written by her to her brother, and have cherished these since. I cannot describe how much peace and love seems to flow through her pen-and it is now one of my greatest possessions. This got me to thinking...what about my future children? Grandchildren? What will I leave for them-for my family-for those I love-what thoughts do I want to impart to them in those days after my life has ended? While I really enjoy writing, and would love to have handwritten notes to share, I also acknowledge that my life is kind of hectic-and that I can type 100 times faster than I can write anything! So..here it is. These are my most precious thoughts, my most genuine flaws, and my learned experiences for whomever happens to need them-whenever they happen to need them-the most. I am anything but perfect, and I don't claim to be the most awe-inspiring writer, but I promise to be genuine and sincere in all of my thoughts.
As for "Pearls"...my Nana's first name was Margaret, which in latin translates to "a Pearl". Upon her passing, I have formed a new-found appreciate for pearls. They are pure, simple, timeless, and beautiful-just like my Nana's spirit. I only hope someone somewhere will find something of value in this blog!
