Shine on... just a thought.

It's so easy in this day and age to lose the light that has the ability to shine so bright inside of us. I know from personal experience just how easy it is to get caught up in all of the "what ifs" and the "should haves" of the world and lose sight of all the amazing things that are right in front of us. Why do we let all of the negative things that could happen get in the way of us seeing all of the amazing things that are happening?
         If we were to every day take a step back and really take a look at all of the beauty that surrounds us.... take a look at all of the smiles that are sent our way... take a look at all of the flowers that are blooming... if we just took a few minutes out of each day to realize just how much life we have left to live, I think we would stop looking at all of the life that we are "losing out on". We might start to see all of the blessings that we gain each day.

Truth.

It's time to sit back.... take a breath... and realize all of the amazing things we have right in front of us.

Failure.

“I don’t believe in failure, because simply by saying you’ve failed, you’ve admitted you attempted. And anyone who attempts is not a failure. Those who truly fail in my eyes are the ones who never try at all. The ones who sit on the couch and whine and moan and wait for the world to change for them.”

—	Sarah Dessen

Life.

"THIS IS YOUR LIFE. Do what you love. And do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching tv. If you are looking for the love of you life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing. All emotions are beautiful. Life is simple. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open you mind, arms, and heart to new things and people. We are all united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is. And share you inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things that you create with them. So go out and start creating. LIFE IS SHORT. LIVE YOUR DREAMS. AND SHARE YOUR PASSION."

Revamping.

Revamping my blog. As days turn to weeks, and weeks turn to months... I am noticing that I am changing in life. My thoughts. My views. My dreams. My passions. It is time for me to start embracing these changes, rather than being afraid and running from them. It is time for me to tell people "If you don't like me... that's fine. But this is me and that's all you are getting. Nothing more. Nothing less." No more bending my thoughts to please the world around me. Time to revamp this blog and bring Blushing Out Loud back to a place where I can find myself. And that is what Blushing Out Loud is about... celebrating the things that you believe in
Keep Blushing World

"Set it Free... Let it Go"

I woke up in a horrible mood today... frustrated, upset, and a little hurt. But damn it, life is too short to hold onto negative feelings. So, I am letting it go... along with a long list of other negative feelings. There is no point in holding onto to anything that doesn't make you smile. So, here is a list of some of the things that I am working on letting go of today...
* frustration
* stale tears
* insecurities
* jealousy
* fears
