ReVamp

Lent came and went and I no longer had the "need" for my blog. Because of my wisdom teeth surgery and all of the complications that carried on for weeks from that extreme event, I wasn't able to post for a while. Then I had finals... went on a spur of the moment cruise to Mexico because I was given a weekend off... and I never made another post. I promised myself I would stay through until Easter and that was all that needed to be done.

Well here I am, back in swing. I am going to have an insane last 12 weeks of the school and may not get to post everyday. And that's okay with me. But there is no reason I should not still be reflecting on this blog! I decided to take a hiatus from Facebook for many reasons, and this will undoubtedly give me even more time to be able to write on this blog. 

I think I am talked out when it comes to what transpired this weekend at my lovely home of Santa Barbara. If you are not familiar because you live under a rock or have not watched the news all weekend, you can just google it and find all the information that you need about what transpired. It was an absolutely tragic event that I will never forget and my heart is still shattered over it. It gives me all the more reason to restart my blog. This world needs hope and light in it. Even if only one person reads this page, that is important enough to keep on writing because there is no "minimum amount" that can be put as a price tag for spreading love. Love is one of the biggest things I have seen being poured out this week. Of course there is sadness, despair, depression, anger, hurt, and a million other emotions, but love is the strongest. It pours out of our souls and wraps people into its warm embrace. It has been poured out through the interactions between friends, between strangers. It has united a community in mourning and championed people for good. It has taken itself to the streets and shouted out that we will not be shaken. Love is what keeps us going when we are struggling in the darkness. And from what I have seen this weekend, we all have such an inspiring capacity to love each other deeply. So here goes my blog again to inspire me to focus on blessing others and spreading love. Because it is what changes hearts and changes the world.
