Climbing a Ladder

   
         Challenge is the word of choice in my life right now. Challenge isn't a bad word, often times in society we turn certain words into negative and positive words but I am trying my best to look at some of the words society has labeled as negative or difficult in a different way. I have many challenges going on in my life right now. Good challenges, challenges who make me who I am and builds my character. I have challenged myself to share my story and be proud of who I am, something I have struggled to do in the past. I am challenging myself to stay positive even with negative moments in my life. In particular being able to move on from a negative moment without it impacting my mood and emotions for the rest of the day. During this time of challenging myself I also have to make sure I am aware of what I need and how far to push myself. I need to continually make sure that  I am keeping myself healthy and giving myself the appropriate amount of space to process and continue healing in this journey, so some days when I don't write or I am closed off it is because I need space and time to focus on me and be healthy. One of the biggest misconceptions that happens when you experience anxiety and depression is that people think you are anti-social and unfriendly sometimes. But it isn't that. It is at times a way of saying I need space, I love you and you are a great person but for both of our sakes, space is the best option. So next time you feel like someone is pushing you away don't assume that, be compassionate and understanding that some people need more space and time to process then others. I know for me right now I definitely need more time and space to process because I am focused on sharing myself and preparing for November 12th. Now that I have gone on and on for a little while below is my post for today's challenge.
           Today's challenge in the inspirational life blogging challenge is to decide on another 30 day challenge I will do after I am finished with this one. So I have picked a slightly different challenge this time. I am going to take a photo challenge that also incorporates inspiration and positivity into it. Below you will find my new challenge which will start when I am finished with this one. I have yet to decide if I will be sharing that on the blog but I will be making that decision shortly and be sure to let all of you know.

More to come tomorrow!

A Special Place

It has been way to long since I have written. My senior year has taken over my life! Since I last wrote school has started and Senior year is going much better than Junior year ever did. I love my classes that I am taking of course with exceptions here or there and I am just so thrilled it is my senior year I think I will be able to look past any negative situation in some positive form. Marching band and School are taking up all my free time. There is no time to be messing around, I am at school, doing homework, at a rehearsal, lesson or practicing it seems. So to take a break from the crazy month that it has been my family and I are going to be traveling to our favorite place! We will be spending the weekend in Vermont. There are so many memories there with my family and I feel like a part of me grew up there. Every winter my family would travel up there to ski until skiing became impossible for my family. With Dad having Alpha one of the things he truly loved to do has been taken aw...

Day 11- A Picture of your Best Friend Since I will be away this weekend I have decided that I will post for the next two days awhile! My Mom and I! My best friend in the whole world is my Mom! No matter what life brings shes always the one there helping me to get through it! I can tell her everything!! She always puts me first and always is there for me!! I look up to her everyday! Love you mom! "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~Washington Irving

For Nothing is Impossible with God!- Luke 1:37

"You are exactly where God wants you to be at   this very moment. Every Experience is part of   his divine plan." This quote has hit home with me the last few days. Its words speak to me. There are so many days when I question why things are happening in my life or why things can't just work out a little bit easier but this quote reminds me that they are working out a little bit easier then I like to think they are. It reminds me that everything I do and all the experiences I go through are part of a bigger plan and a bigger picture. Some experiences I never question because they are fun and don't bring me any emotional upset or pain. It's when the difficult experiences come that I begin to forget this quote. I begin to forget what my life really is about. It is not just that bad experience that defines me. There is so much more that defines me and my life. I am defined by the way I react to the situations rather than by the situations themselves. ...
