Dear Blogosphere has been my online journal for over seven years. It has followed me along a journey of education and growth. It is where I have shared adventures, delights, and thoughts with my family, friends, and the world-at-large.
Today, I find myself contemplating on God, religion, hope, and love. I converted to Roman Catholicism at Easter Vigil of this year. I am still learning about my faith and know I will continue to learn and experience it for eternity. So lately I have been sharing my thoughts on my faith.
Please join me on this journey. Share your thoughts.

I really like that thought. I have old journals that should probably be rid of, but I haven't done it because I think that these things happened to me and maybe I want to hold onto them. But not everything needs to be kept. Some things are best let go. Lovely thought, Nat. :)
Thanks for the comment, Kayla! I agree -- that's why I kept it for so long. It's through tough situations that we become who we are. So I completely understand holding on to old journals.
I think this is a great idea. I need to come up with a way to let go of past sadness and anger. I think that there is always going to be a part of my heart that is a little broken.
