Blog ~check it off the list!

While on vacation at the beach I noticed a book on the table of our beach house by Anita Shreve titled, Sea Glass. I was thrilled by my find because she is one of my favorite authors and I had not yet read this book. I read the intriguing story and became fascinated by sea glass. I never knew it existed, I never knew to look for it. I felt blessed to have found the book and the new discovery. I researched sea glass and found it to be so fascinating. More fascinating is the opportunity to find it. When you think of the massive sea and the odds of finding glass that has been reformed into the smoothest and beautiful of surfaces after being shattered, broken and dangerously sharp it does not take long to realize it would be a blessing to find!

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and although it was several years ago that I came to find the book, I believe it led me to this point and blog. I have wanted to start a blog for some time but could never decide what to blog about as I have several interest and a couple passions! I am most passionate about music, spiritual & personal growth, & life in general. I am interested in writing, travel, running, and so much more! I did not want a blog devoted to a specific subject and I wanted to be able to write about anything. Neon Sea Glass was my blog title because I am not limited to what I write about. I love rare things, being original, and neon colors! I have had a journal since I was a child and love to write and reflect. I worried that I would fail at a blog, what if I use the wrong punctuation, I know I use run on sentences, because I write like I would speak, and I talk and talk!! :)  use or spell a word wrong, make someone mad, get rude comments? etc, etc. I have finally decided to do what I feel led by God to do in ALL aspects of my life and not worry about what others think. I believe that the fear of regret is worse than ANY failure or criticism! I realize that through a blog I am posting my thoughts and beliefs out to whomever comes across or chooses to read it. To me it's a leap of faith I am ready to take. I hope you enjoy this blog and find it to be a place to come for heavier and deeper meditation, and even humor! One of the greatest blessings we each have been given is LIFE! I think sea glass is so much like our lives, in so many different ways! Through this blog I hope to inspire and I hope to connect with many others who feel that life is a blessing. Although at times our lives can get broken, shattered, and can leave us with dangerous edges, just like sea glasses first form. I believe that if we ride the waves, as hard and rough as they can get, strive to look for the beauty in every circumstance, we can become like neon sea glass! To grasp it is a rare and beautiful find!
