Babbling Brooke

When I was a baby, my mom says I didn't really have "first words" - I just started talking in complete sentences from the very beginning. She says I talked her ear off as a little girl & haven't stopped since. I asked a ton of questions...I wanted to figure out the world around me, why things worked the way they did, why people acted the way they did... I'm sure my friends & family would still agree - I'm a talker and a thinker - not always about anything truly deep and meaningful, but trust me, these wheels are always turning.

And now, after 27 years on this earth, I still have a ton of questions and I still have a lot to say - a lot to say about my past, my present & my future. I have a lot to say about my loved ones - my friends, my family. I have a lot to say about those who have come into my life & inflicted pain, confusion, & stress. And certainly, I have a lot to say about God, my faith, His plan for me.

This blog is about my pursuit of me - not to define me, but to think through things that have occurred, and become better, much better from them. I am not expressing myself for the delight and criticism of others - this is me, who I am & and what I have to say; I have never been ashamed or embarrassed to be me - that is something that can never be taken away from me. So take what I have to say with a grain of salt - I don't know everything, I'm far from perfect and I don't have life figured out. I'm just thinking and sharing...for my benefit, but should anything I happen to spout in this blog actually resonate with you - then awesome! Take it and run with it. :) God bless you today.
