She Shines From Within

this is the story of a girl

Hi there :) Welcome to my little corner of the world. What's there to know. Well, because of an inspirational blog that I visit which features the author working on her glow I decided that I wanted to discover my shine. This is slightly biblical, and slightly analogical and slightly, just being me. I don't want to be a dull, little thing, I want to glow, or rather - for me - shine. Not just from the outside, but from within. If everything is good inside - naturally - it will show up on the outside.

What else? I'm 27 - am a christian - love to cook - love to read - am crafty - am introverted - but no one believes me on the introverted part - adores drinking tea - is a workout fiend - gets bored easily - is studying to be a librarian information technologist - likes making up her own words - sings at random - has a slight addiction to smutty book - wants to be a nun - until, you know; I get married - is determined to work on her shine.

Oh. and you can call me Livvy. (or Livvie. Or Livi. it's really amazing how many spellings of one name there can be. I like them all though).

this is like groundhog day. but like with writing!

No seriously. this must be my.... third blog attempt. And I think I realised what the issue was. A: I get bored. A lot. B: I am the kind of person who loves to have people letting me know that you are - you know - reading my stuff. If i get no motivation, why am I writing things down? I mean - yes I could talk to myself - and I often do [no - not in a scary, I hear voices in my head kind of way, but in a I need to make plans and I like hearing how it sounds out loud kind of way], but that's no fun.

And also - it was just focused on my weight. Don't get me wrong - this will be somewhat of a weight-loss blog and all that fun stuff - but just focusing on that too was rather boring. There is so much more to me than "Oh, guess what I want to lose weight. Still." I am going to write about a lot of stuff. Tons of stuff. That's the plan anyway.

So - it's back to writing a blog. About me. Fun, yeah? To sum up the last two blogs and the last year (and two months) here it goes:

1: I was fat.
2: I am fat, but I am working on it
3: I went back to school.
4: I realised - I'm smart. (with the learning and stuff)
5: I don't have an oven. (this is my biggest lament. Or like my top 5 at least)
6: I am a heck of a lot stronger than I ever gave myself credit for.
7: I have an awesome hero. Her name is My Momma. [Not in a "Your Momma!" kind of way. but MY Momma. Mommy. Ma.]
8: I am slowly losing inches.
9: I am slowly regaining my shine. Or discovering it.
10: I am a heck of a lot stronger than I ever gave myself credit for. [this is not a stutter. it bears repeating].

I don't mind re-entering the breach. I think it would be fun. And I hope I give you inspiration, or at least a good laugh or a good "food for thought." Now. it's time to do something productive, I'm dead sleepy. And just realised I have no food....hm. That could be a problem.
