Thoughts about improving my blog

Helllooooo!!

So I have been thinking about this for a while now. I know that lots of people have blogs, and I subscribe to a lot of blogs myself. Many I check regularly and try recipes, workouts and respond to posts. That is what I hope my blog to turn into. Some place where people can go and read something that may speak to me.

So I thought one important thing that I could talk about and that I have a lot of knowledge on, is dun dun dun gluten free and Celiac. So I thought about every Wednesday doing a "Wheat-less Wednesday"  blog. Where I could post some of my fave all time recipes, special treats, items I love, and general facts about Celiac. I think this is a very misunderstood disease and the only way people will learn more is if people like me, discuss it and talk about it.
I haven't been very comfortable talking about it. And had and still have a lot of physical, mental and emotional healing to do with this, as this is me for life. So as part of the healing process for me, is discussing it. And spreading awareness, so I don't have to be as worried about stuff like this.


If you would like to learn more more, or are interested in it, follow me, email me, or facebook me. I am up for any sort of suggestions.

A blog that inspired me to start blogging

I know that blogging seems to be a new fad that has recently come around, and many people hope to be the next big blogger. Although I haven't really figured out what my main focus is going to be. Gluten free, Celiac, fitness, health tips. Really all of those things involve me and make me, me. And all of those are important to me and important for people to learn about and understand.
But there is a  blog that got me started on this idea. It is such an amazing website full of life questions and thought provoking ideas.
The website is www.marcandangel.com

If you have never been to this site, go check it I promise you will not be disappointed!

Hopefully you enjoy that site and enjoy mine.

Teach me Tuesday

Okay, back again, I really don't start and stop things as much as I do this blog. If I could just really focus on setting sometime to do it. There is so much I want to discuss but I always seem to find an excuse... maybe out of fear that no one will read it, or think I am weird. But I am who I am like it or not.
Anyway! I am vowing to make more of an effort now.

So what did I learn today, it is something I have been learning a lot about over the past few months, but it is certainly something I struggle with. Forgiveness. I am reading this book that is basically all about forgiveness. If you want to know the book let me know and I will give you the information.
So as I've been reading, I have been trying to pay attention to important points but here is something that really stuck out to me.

                      forgiveness is a choice, and you do not have to forgive or believe in forgiveness. But do your            best to look at the consequences of your choice to forgive or not forgive, letting your heart help decide.

"believe that holding on to anger does not bring you what you really want."

Forgiveness does not mean saying that what a person did to you is okay, it is just saying I am not letting the emotional struggle stick with me, and when I realized that, it opened my eyes and my heart.
 Holding on to pain and anger is useless because so often the other person has moved on and you are stuck spinning your wheels.

So I am being taught the value of forgiveness.
