Three Reasons Why I Celebrate!

  1. I am free to celebrate Christ's birth and what His life on earth meant to me as a Christian. Whether you believe the Jesus Christ was God's son or not there is an undeniable fact that His existence effects our lives ever day. From our national holidays such as Christmas and Easter (maybe not a holiday but that's just because it's on a Sunday) to our calendar (B.C. or A.D. sound familiar to anyone?). My freedoms allow me to enjoy my beliefs, share them, and hear others beliefs.


  2. I have an amazing family. My parents and brother support everything I do, even when they don't understand me. They also provide amazing examples of how be an integrity-filled young professional and how to make smart and loyal decisions.

  3. I have a bright future. I live in a country (similar to many other countries) that allows me to become whatever I want to be. There are no limitations based on my sex, color, beliefs, background, or ethnicity. With hard work and ambition I can change my career, go back to school, or excell exactly where I am right now. The sky is the limit.


There are many other reasons for why I'm excited about this holiday seasons, but honestly most of them branch off of one of these three. And even the bottom two branch off of the top one if I'm being honest. Since I truely believe God is holding me in His hand and has a plan for me I have to believe my freedoms and family are blessings from Him.



Merry Christmas to everyone! I love you all and hope that you have a wonderful holiday season!

Denver in December



We came, We saw, We conquered. Sadly several miscellaneous items did not make it home with me. Including but not limited to one of my very few winter sweaters and my black winter blazer (perfect for texas mid-50's winters). Why is it that I didn't make it home with all of my personal belongings? I'm blaming it on the subconscious. My inner-Melissa wants to move to Denver and therefore let me know by leaving some very important clothing items there. Should I; a)move to Denver and reclaim my clothes upon arrival at my new apartment?, b)go without and shiver until I have learned my lesson for not overrulling my subconscious?, or c)ask my gracious hostess to fed-ex them to me.
Questions for pondering...

New Beginnings

To record my life, my thoughts, my hopes, my disappointments, and my triumphs. To record my life.
