For the past few weeks I’ve been pondering the word Purpose, surrounded by the words life, blog, pursue, reflect, good, bad & ugly. A Purpose word bubble. Out of that word bubble came these thoughts:
If my life doesn’t reflect my purpose and my purpose doesn’t reflect my life, then I’m struggling.
I’m not just talking blog talk. I’m talking life talk.
My life will be a reflection of whatever it is that I’m pursuing.
That’s a scary statement because sometimes what I’m pursuing will require a little bit of vulnerability, if I choose to share it with you. I have been known to waste days away. We all have days of foggy funk. So, I’m not going to pretend that I have it all together and I’m always purposeful with every hour of every day. I’m not.
However, at the end of the day, I will evaluate my reflection. The good, bad & the ugly.
What do I want my life to reflect? The good, bad and/or ugly of….
- how I love my husband & children & family
- pursuing & maintaining authentic friendships in my community & online
- how I encourage rest & risk in my life & others
- humility through my successes & failures
- music & food & books & movies & clothes that I love or not so much love
- daydreams
- being obedient to God’s word
- ______________________________________
Whatever my life reflects, I want to share it with you.
The purpose of caroline teselle dot com is to be a place of encouragement & a reflection of the life I’m living portrayed through my photographs and my writing.
If I stop doing that, you have my permission to snap your fingers at me or splash a cup of cold water on my face or take away my Keurig ~ whatever it is you think will grab my attention. Seriously.
Will you help me?
{I’m going to go hide my Keurig now…}
