The 1st. . . out of 365

The challenge has begun my friends.
Now of course I will not post the one thing I found each day. . . But I thought it would be nice to just post the first one and when days come and go I will post more.

SO. . . .what made me happy today?

Curlers.

Thats right. you heard me. Curlers.

I love this invention that you can stick in your hair for fifteen to twenty minutes, while doing things like brush your teeth, read a book, make a meal, study homework, surf the web.. . . or in my case, write this blog post. And as a end result.. . your hair has this nice bounce to it, that adds a nice frame to your face and makes your image boost!

These beautiful, plastic, sometimes burns my fingers, devices are lovely. Theses things bring a great joy in my life. I love my hair, it's really that thing on my person that I love and try and take good care of. If I want to look nice in just a plain t-shirt and jeans, I simply just curl my hair. Curlers help me feel pretty and give me that extra boost of confidence. That is why I found joy in my curlers today. Cause they are so going to give me that push of confidence and hopefully another reason to have joy today.

I'm sorry boys you will never know the pleasures and pains of getting "dolled up" ;)


Peace and love my fellow humans.

What I really want.

“You are wonderful and you have within you the potential to do great and marvelous and good things. Don’t let anyone stop you, don’t let anybody get in your way, don’t get sidetracked on some venture of one kind or another that might injure you and hurt you... Stand tall, do what is right, count on the Lord and He will bless you in a wonderful way” (-President Gordon B. Hinckley).
I love this. . . This was most uplifting and exactly what I need to see at this time. 


Everyone at one point has been asked, "What do you want?"


I have been asked this a thousand times and gave the same answers over and over. It's time to really think about what I want, if I want to work for it, and what it's going to take to get there. 


1. I want to go to BYU. For those who have known me, I have been against going to BYU for years. Why the sudden change?
I believe that BYU is what I need. To be around individuals who believe and show the same beliefs I have. I want to have a class prayer before a class. I want to strengthen my testimony and become a better example of the church. I might not have the grades or not good enough. But it's a righteous desire, to better my self and learn more what our Heavenly Father wants me learn. 


2. I want to figure my self out. I don't want someone telling me who I am, what I love, what I believe, what I'm going to do. This is my life. Not yours. Back off. I love you, but please, let me figure myself out. 


3. I want to travel. If only I had the money. I would like to just grab a backpack and travel. I'll be a street performer if I need the money. I want to see the world and what was put here for us discover. 


4. I want to love, who and what I want to love. 


5. I want to be a good mormon. Now I don't want to be the stereotype mormon who has a BOM up their. . . well you know what. But I want to actually be the basics of what I believe. No judging, loving one another, be like christ. Harder said then done. . . But I believe it can be done. We just need to be non hypocritical, it can be done. I believe it can be. 


6. I want to be a good wife. A fun loving, supportive, have a good laugh with and there for him to cry, wife. I want to get sealed in the temple. But this means I want a good husband. Who is going to love me for my light and dark. . . and I'll do the same for him. 


7. To go with number six, I want to be a good mother. (Read earlier blog post. Pretty much sums it up) 




There is so much I want, and want to be. I hope I can achive them. 


Love and peace. 

A new challenge.

There is this girl that I have known for a few years now. She is the most optimistic person I know and I envy her for it. After reading (well really stalking) her facebook and blog, I just can't stop smiling. And I realized, I want to be happy everyday.

SO the challenge has begun.

Everyday. for the next 365 days I will find joy in everything I do. No one is going to bring me down. I MEAN NO ONE!  Not even you Satan. . . I know you can read! So be warned.



I love you all. Hope all is well. :)

Peace and Love!

Dear Mr. Darcy

Dear Mr. Darcy,
      You, like so many fictional characters in English literature have captured the hearts of many. You are so much better then a creepy vampire or teen wolf. But studying you and learning of your craft, I have found you are truly flawed and I'm thinking Elizabeth had every right to have her prejudices against you.

1. You are selfish. Always thinking of your self. Never anyone else, especially the ones you proclaim you love.
2. You walk high and tall, like a God on your own piece of heaven. However, you are just like everyone else, Human.
3. No one will bend you of your ways, cause you are always right and everyone against your opinion is wrong.
4. You are bi-polar.
5. Love one minute, then against it the next. One can not live with out love, Darcy. So figure yourself and your heart out.


You have your good traits too, Mr. Darcy, and you know what these are. However, I've discovered that you are not the sort of man I should look for in a future of love. Or should I? You still have many chapters to go through before you figure out who you truly are, besides, people don't change, their lives do, so we shall see. I might set my sights for someone more like. . . Oh I don't know. . . Col. Christopher Brandon perhaps. Someone, who actually worships the ground of the one he loves.

Try harder Darcy. Don't be a man, be human.

Sincerely your quite follower

Laurel Evelyn.

To come to think of it. . .

When I was wee little tike. I loved Snow White. There is even a home video of me as a four year old singing "Some day my Prince will come" and my parent's surprising me with the Disney video. . . those were the days. 

                               

Was my childhood princess who I grew up to be? 

I did play a "Snow White on Crack" character my senior year in the school fall musical. My father has said that when I am nervous I go into my "Snow White" voice. . . 

Am I Snow White? 

As I laid on my mother bed, helping her study for a test that is coming up this week. We discussed what guys want in their future spouses. 

"They want some one genuine" my mother proclaimed to me. "Kind of like Snow White. You Laurel, are like Snow White" 

No wonder little girls wanted to be princesses when we become older. Not to just get the prince or live in a big castle and have that Happily Ever After we all crave. Princesses have attributes that we all must want to be, whether it be kind to everyone, loyal, beauty both in and out, a fighter for what is right, virtue, compassion. . . . this is starting to sound like the Young Woman's theme. I know no four year old would really get this concept, however it's a good example of what to be. 

May we all be Princesses and Princes. 

Peace and Love
