Awkward Introductions

Wow, my very first post! I am not going to lie and say it's not a big deal, because I am really excited! After reading so many other blogs and looking forward to what they have to say, I began to think, why can't I share what I am thinking too? A little research, reassurance from friends, and a bit of procrastination from homework, BOOM, here I am! 

All I am going to share today is my profile. It is basically the same as my side profile but I had to downsize it a ton so I thought I would share my "true" profile for my first post! 

 First impressions? 

 Hello all! Welcome to my blog! I am Maisie-- a girl chasing her dreams and catching them! I am so pleased you have found your way to my page. My goal and prayer is that this blog will motivate and encourage others as I share some of my crazy journey of life. I am an undergraduate student on her way to Physician Assistant school. The thing is that my life is far more complex than that one sentence, but isn't everybody's? Aside from this major goal, I have so many "sub-goals" and I just can't rest until I have completed them. It can be hard for me to verbalize my thoughts but to summarize, this blog is about goals! I believe that without goals, we perish. We stop dreaming and stop believing in ourselves. Ask anyone that knows me or ask me, that there are times when I doubt myself and my vision. I become crippled with fear of failure and frustration, but that is when we make the pot of coffee, dance it out, and find that inner strength. I also believe that achieving our goals requires support, motivation, faith, self-discipline, love, and a few tears along the way. So please join my journey and together we can do great things and achieve our goals! 

"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."  2 Timothy 1:7

Hope that gives you some idea of what I am trying to do with this page. It will be a mix up of my thoughts, encounters, work-outs, freak-outs, and more. 

I chose the notebook paper background of this blog specifically for these reasons. First, this is a collection of my thoughts recorded. Secondly, I love taking notes on paper. Going to a class lecture is pretty enjoyable for me-- 97% of the time. Thirdly, I believe that our lives are an open book and it is up to us to write our story out and make it one worth putting in the library to be read. 

Okay, so goal-- make our life story worth reading. Even to one person. 

Ready, Set, Go! 

Maisie
