if you love me at all..

 I have exciting news.


Pregnant? 


Nope.


Moving?


Nope.


This post was nominated as "Most Inspiring"?


YES!


"i will and i can" is basically everything I want this blog to be about.


Most blogs have some kind of focus, but for months and months I couldn't decide what mine was.  Although I do know exactly what my blog is NOT.


*You won't find me twirling in pretty dresses so you know how fashion saavy I am. I break fashion rules daily, because I basically have no fashion rules. I wear what I want when I want.

* I won't be making a million tiny snowmen out of old diaper wipe cases or whatever other crafty items you crafty people use.


*It's unlikely that you'll be cooking up some recipe I've concocted on a whim, because I'm Pioneer Woman's long lost little sister. I'm a decent cook, but nooo PW if you know what I'm saying.


However.


I do know a thing or two about life.

*Trying to figure out how to laugh when all I want to do is cry.


*Training myself to have a positive attitude when being negative nancy is so much more fun (ok, not really)


*Looking for the good in everything and everyone..still working hard on this one.


*Becoming the kind of girl that faces challenges with her chin up, not afraid to do hard things.


*Occasionally making fun of Twilight and other things I think are ridiculous.


SO. If you agree that we need a little more laughter in life and motivation to do hard things then:


1.  Read "i will and i can"


2.  Go to "A Peek at Karen's World: And the finalists are..."


3.  Vote for me under "Most inspiring post"!


4.  Leave a comment so that someday when I'm ridiculously rich and I want to take people on a cruise I will know who is most deserving :)


Cheers!
