On Words of Wisdom

I do enjoy procrastinating. Or perhaps that's not the right word. I tend to procrastinate. [Read More]

Life Changing Books

You know those books that you pick up thinking about something one way, and then you read it, and when you put it down you think about it completely different? Well my experience today wasn't quite like that, it was more.... I went in never thinking about the possibility at all, then after I put it down after reading straight through, my whole mind was filled with the possibilities. Yeah, the book I read today was one of those. I will post something about it later tonight or tomorrow. It was that amazing. <3Thundress

Success

I just realized I hadn't posted in a while, and thought I'd post something. Since I couldn't think of anything to write about off the top of my head, here is a recycled post from facebook. I was just looking, and I found a poem I wrote. I know I posted the Courage one, but I don't believe I posted the Success one. So here goes: Success. Not necessarily winning. Sometimes success is losing. Success is all in your mind. Sometimes success is the journey. Success is relative. I feel success is conquering your fears, Or winning your dreams. Success is following your dream in the first place. Success is deciding on a path and sticking to it. Success is reaching a decision. Success is finding your path in life. Success is happiness. Success.  I hope you enjoyed it. I had fun writing it! <3Cade

FHE and Family Pics, Summer 2012

Image
I just realized it's been a while since I last posted on my personal blog. I can't believe I've kept myself from it for so long. There's been a lot going on since the last time I posted, and possibly I might catch y'all up. But for now I just thought I'd share the family pictures my family took ourselves this past Monday as a FHE (Family Home Evening) activity! We hadn't had one taken since before my Senior year of High School and I'm now a Sophomore in college. Anyway, without further ado, here are some of the pictures right now: The Whole Family: Royce, Daddy, Anthony, Mama, Melinda, Kristina, and myself. The Women: Mama, Kristina, Melinda, and myself. My brothers: Anthony and Royce. My brother Anthony. This one is of me. I was trying to show my brother Anthony the correct way to do the pose. My brother Royce. My mama.  The Men: Daddy, Royce, and Anthony. My Daddy. Daddy and the Girls: Daddy, K...

Monster Blood Tattoo

Currently reading Lamplighter. It's taking longer than usual because I don't spend all my time reading like I did in high school and because it's over 700 pages if I remember correctly! I'll make a post soon though, as soon as I've finished reading it! Keep watching for more posts, definitely! <3Thundress
