Beauty!

There are a few things Iwant to focus on today!  They have been on my mind the past few weeks. First of all the purpose of this blog, second individuality, and third scripture! Oddly enough they all relate to one another. Infact everything in this world relates, but that is for another day!

So as for this BLOG. Why write it? Well I am going to be selfish (or rather self aware) for a moment here and answer the pongient question what’s in it for me?  While I am happy to share with everyone my thoughts, life, and adventures I am not particularly egotistical and having others read about me does not shall we say get me off. And while I hope to reach out to some of you and make a difference as well as recieve support for my endevors, creations, and the like…that cannot be the purpose in writing either, because frankly it is never consistent and unscientific as if I am reaching anyone.

So what is in it for me? I will jump ahead to the topic of scripture for just a moment here; when I was younger I was taught that writing in a journal would not only be a record for your children, but a sense of enlightment for yourself. As I have gotten older I have only seen affirmation after affirmation of this principle.  Infact, as I remember the greatest times in my life I was keeping an accurate and current record of my growth, my trials, triumphs, insights and so forth.  So to answer what’s in it for me, It is the affirmitive in personal growth and happiness that comes from logging ones thoughts, trials, soutions, and growth. 

Now as for doing this public instead of private. That answer is simple. All my journals have always been ment to be read by someone at some point anyway. Besides that we are not all so unique and alone in this world that we would not benefit by sharing our experiences, as we all have commonalities. Which brings me to my next thought of individuality!

While studying for my ACT’s I read a story that enlikend our individuality to that of a snowflake, each one different and not quite like another. And in that fact all the same, because all were not identical. The story which was much longer stuck with me because in our quest to be unique we become more and more like everyone else…..different!

If you have noticed my headline phrase, “Enlightment For The New Rennissance” you may have wondered why Rennissance and why New.  Well that is where individuality comes in. You see each of us are totally unique, but that is only because we are multifauceted. If we were not built of so many parts do you really think there would be such variety in the world? NO. It is the different combinations of these parts that makes us unique. 

Once the snow flakes were huge as we rode the chair lift at Grand Targhee, so big we could see every detail. We were determined to prove the no two alike concept wrong. And you know we did after a fashion. Two flakes landed on my coat identical to one another, identical that was except for a snowy glob on the end of one flake.  Two landed on my brothers gloves identical! Well, except that one was definately bigger than the other. You see it is those variations, distortions, and proportions that make us unique.

In this I must be true to all of who I am. Frankly if not why would you read this.  The world tries to force us into a box, into a particular mold. You’re  an artist they say, good be extreme, but don’t be conservative.  You’re an entrepreneur, great be business like, but don’t be a mommy….You get the idea. Well the time has come for a New Rennissance: a time where we can be all that we are. Afterall Divinci was not only an accomplished artist, but a scientist, philosopher, and deaply religious as well.

And while that brings me to my third point scripture, I see I am out of time for writing….I do have a Mommies schedule and must accomplish as much as possible to balance my very, very, individual rennissance life!

As of today I have rescheduled blog time into my day so do check back soon for the continued thought.
