New to Blogging...

Hi,
   I don't know what to write just yet, so I am just going to let my fingers direct me....lol. I am not new to journaling. I've been writing on other networks for a while now, but I sometimes forget that myspace or facebook is VERY PUBLIC, and my wall status posts to ALL my friends & family, not just the one's I talk to regularly...so I figured to be open & free would mean opening a blog site! Then people can choose to follow me or not?? I hope they do, but I can't win over everyone! Speaking of NOT pleasing everyone, means I need to start applying that theory to my own personal life. I am always concerned with saying or doing what others feel I should do or say, and at the end of the day I NEED to be happy with me and the decisions I made for me, and my family. So about me....I love to write. My Mother begs me to be a writer, hubby says I should too,  but I don't know what to write that would sell, and actually make money? I feel that if it's the place God wants me to be, HE will reveal that "I got something..." moment, and I will know what to write when that door opens. Maybe it's yet to be written because I haven't walked it or experienced it yet? Only God knows...so my second passion is Photography. I studied it in high school, and considered attending Brooks Institute of Photography for college, but the expense scared me off...I think school in general did at that point, lol. I don't regret not going, because I know you can do or be anything if you TRY. I feel I have the natural eye, and I am considering taking some classes to brush up on my skills, and get some more tips & tricks under my belt. It couldn't hurt, only help me build a successful career....but, I have to put my dreams on hold a bit longer, because my husband is a traveling contractor, and my toddler is having a difficult time adjusting to the separation of Daddy, Papa & Gama being absent so often. I've never trusted nor left her in a daycare or babysitting setting, so now as she is 2 years of age I struggle with getting her detached, but also I know will happen in God's timing for her. We're only so innocent & little for a short while in life, so I don't mind "babying" her in a sense, because I know it will be gone sooo fast as is! So as for my photography path, I plan on investing in new equipment as our finances improve...and from there I will go as I am lead at that point. So my final hobby goes hand in hand with photography, it's Scrapbooking! LOVE LOVE LOVE to cherish memories on patterned paper with stickers, ribbon, buttons, embellishments, brads, and touching quotes & jourrnaling...I guess now that I look at it, scrapping combines ALL my loves...writing, photos, and creativity! :) That realization is exciting news :) So...that's most of what excites me from within...I also love listening to music, mainly country. I enjoy bowling, but never go much anymore. I like to shop, come on who doesn't? ;p  I like traveling & sight seeing, I love playdates, and getting together with friends too...what can I say, I just love life, and I am so eternally grateful for my life & everyone in it! God is doing amazing things in my life...shutting doors, and opening others, and without HIM we'd be nothing! Thanks for reading...tune in soon!

Love, Ash :)
