Welcome

Hello to the world of bloggers and blog readers!  Welcome to my blog!

I'm 28 and I've been married for 6 1/2 years to my high school sweetheart.  I'm a military spouse/housewife, photographer, and writer.  Any hope that I have comes from being a Follower of Jesus.  

In June of 2012 I was in a doctor's office being told that I had cervical cancer.  After going through surgeries and constant check-ups, I can say, thankfully, that I'm now cancer free.  Since my cancer diagnosis, I've been on a journey to live a healthier lifestyle and to enjoy my life on this earth for whatever amount of time I've got left here. 

I have always loved to write.  I wrote my first  play at age 8, my first screenplays at age 14, and started writing novels at age 15.  I think it's only fitting I start a blog where I can hopefully inspire and encourage people along my journey, and even find some inspiration and encouragement myself from all of you wonderful people.  

So welcome to my blog.  This will be a place where I talk about faith, art, hope, healthy living, housewifey things, and trying to find the good in every situation, even cancer.

Percipience means 'a good understanding of things, perceptiveness, having perception, or discerning.'  I learned this word when one of my Photography Professors used it to describe my work back in college.  It's what I'll be doing here: perceiving life, in a hopeful way.
