What You’ll Find in This Catalog of Life
So if you’re a child of the 90’s, or before, you know what I mean when I say card catalog. Can you believe kids these days may not know who Dewey Decimal is; so sad. Anyway, that’s what I equate this page to. So initially when you come to this section you can see any recent post. However, what if you don’t have a need to read one of my posts about the fertility struggle, but you really want to catch the most recent post on what’s going on in my daily walk, or maybe a cool place to go on vacation, or maybe you are looking for a new artist to listen to; that’s where the life catalog comes into play.
You see, our lives are very much like a card catalog. There are so many subjects in our lives, that it’s much easier to navigate when we can classify them. I also use this term because, I’ve self-diagnosed as OCD. The more organization I have, the easier I sleep. But, in all reality as things happen in my life, or if I want to reference some life event, I want it to be easier for you to find, hence the Life Catalog. So as posts happen, I’ll categorize them and you’ll be able to find them in the appropriate location, regarding the subject. Here’s a run down of what you’ll find:
- The Who and The Why: To say that I, or we, have gone through this alone, would be utterly false. Here is where I will talk about those that have had a direct impact on me and this blog. But, here is where I will also share why there was such an internal battle and major delay in starting this blog.
- Our Story: As a 10 year Wedding Anniversary present to ourselves, we did a family portrait session. In choosing someone to take our pictures we wanted to find someone who could capture 10+ years of us; M+J Storytellers, did just that. Check out our story through video and then go check them out online and follow them, you won’t regret it.
- Infertile Myrtle: So that’s me. I’m sorry if you feel that is insensitive, but let me tell you, going through what I’ve gone through, a little raw humor can save your day every once in a while. In this section you’ll find my posts about the struggle with conceiving.
- The Man Cave: This is where Jim will chime in every once in a while. Though this blog is mainly my thing, we have always been adamant that the struggle to conceive has and always will be an “our” thing. When we said “I do” we became one, and therefore the fertility problem never was my fault or his fault, but a burden we shared together. Anyway more on that later. For now, here is where Jim will share his personal journey.
- Just A Closer Walk With Thee: This may be one of my favorite sections. And honestly this section will help keep myself accountable. Here is where I will share what’s going on in my walk with God and how every day, I need Jesus. I’ll share books I’m reading, sermon take aways, and my love for the Lord.
- Happenings and Places We Love: On my home page, and in my motto, you’ll see that I’m living life to the fullest. In living life to the fullest, that requires, in my opinion, not having things but doing things. Having experiences and creating memories is what it’s all about. In this section Jim and I will share all of those experiences so you have extra ideas on helping you to also live life to the fullest.
- Songs That Speak: If you know me, you know that I love music. And if you don’t know me, just know that I love music. This section will contain posts that talk about songs that I just can’t get enough of. They will be songs of all kinds and this is where I need to preface something. I love Jesus and I love Tupac. MmmKay! Some of these posts may be surface level and others may be deep, but if I mention a song, I hope you’ll drop what you’re doing, to go and listen to it.
