It's ok to be a little broken

So here goes...my first attempt at a blog. It has taken me a while to get this going as I was discouraged when my attempts at adding cool pictures like I see on other blogs failed. But hey - everybody's broken! That's the theme of this blog and I'm starting it off by being broken - no pictures!
I decided to start blogging for a couple of reasons. One is I need the practice writing. As a seminary student I am required to write many papers. I have a lot of fear of writing. It has to do not only with having poor grammar, sentence structure and spelling skills but also with my overwhelming fear of rejection. Putting my thoughts/ideas in writing is very scary as I am opening myself to criticism and rejection...so please be kind :)
Another reason I have entered the world of blogging is..well, honestly I have a lot to say. I do a lot of reading of some really cool stuff and I am dying to share what I am reading and doing with other folks. I am hoping this will serve as a way for me to do that and reach the people who are interested. Right now I am reading about grieving and will be writing about what I am learning soon.
Warning....I am a huge Jon Bon Jovi fan as I think his music is very spiritual - hence the title of the blog. Once I figure out how to attach links to youtube I will post some of his music but until then you must google and listen to the song "Everybody's broken" It is pure wisdom!
-till next time
Peace be with you!

  1. OOOHhhhh!!! I like. I'm interested in the grieving thing. We lost our son in 1999 to a birth defect......it's a life long process as far as I can see. Comes and goes in spurts and that is good. God knows I can't deal with the full impact of it at one time. I'm putting you as someone I follow....Go to your dashboard and you can add gadget....pictures.
