New Years Goals & Other Such Snippets

Hello!

Are you excited!  It's finally 2017!  I say that as if the year drug on and on, but really, it fairly flew! Do you have any goals, dreams or resolutions?  I have a few I'd like to share, so let's get started. 

1. Get the splits
I've made this goal the last four years and never succeeded.  But it's a new year, right?  And I can still do it no matter how many times I fail.

2. Spend less time on screens and more time outside
This is a big one for me because I think it's really important.  Being in the sunshine makes me feel so much happier.  And even if there is no sun just the fresh air is great.  I know it's winter and it's cold, but  I can still spend a little time outside, right?  Plus look at the photo below.  


Go out and go for a walk right now.  Your brain will feel alive!

3. Practice photography
It would be super cool to take awesome photos.  I know I can't get good all at once, so that's why I'll practice all year.  Plus, Lolly is letting me use a nice camera of hers.

P.S. I might be doing a photo challenge with some friends.  You'll have to check back and see. 

4. Post more often
If you look at our blog frequently then you  know why I need to do this.  I'm really bad at it.  At least there is always time to improve!

5. Audition for Encore! Theatre's production of Peter Pan
Yes, it's Peter Pan!  I can not wait until auditions.  Seriously this would be fun regardless of what part I get.  I mean, it would be awesome simply to be a lost kid or pirate!  I'm just so happy!

6. Do something creative every day
I'm actually doing this pretty well so far.  I have quite a few drawing/watercolor I'd love to share with you.


This is my newest.  I'm still not positive how I feel about it.


Mary Poppins.  Practically perfect in every way.


I'm already thinking about the Peter Pan play way too much.


In this one I really enjoyed adding all of the glitter.


I want to step into this one. 

There you go!  Which is your favorite?  I just noticed a correlation between all of them.  They each have blue or black. 

Love,
Pip

What Tech Week Looks Like + SURPRISES and Disappointments

Image
Hey Guys! I’m really sorry.  I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I was very busy.  For now, let’s catch up on what been happening in this crazy life of mine, starting with tech week.    August 7 th This was our first day of tech week.  People always complain about it, because the cast doesn’t do much.  Just the crew.  But personally, I enjoy it the most.  Getting to the theatre, finding places for our costumes and filming.  Everything was great.  My favorite part was a little adventure after dinner…  Almost everyone was still eating, but I wanted to finish early and do my makeup in the dressing room.  After that I decided to join everyone again.  Out on stage I met up with two of my castmates.  Let’s call them Caleb and Blake.  I really wanted to go exploring the building, but not alone so the three of us went together.  First, we found some random rooms, ...

Friendship Day + What My Closest Friends Taught Me

Image
Hello! How are you?  I still can’t believe it’s August.  I know I haven't been posting often, but I've been very busy.  Guess what?  Tomorrow is National Friendship Day!  I really wanted to do a post about it, but I'm trying to stick to my blog schedule, so I compromised and posted it today.     My friends have taught me lots of things .  Sometimes I’ve gotten a little bugged with them, and sometimes I’ve tried their patience.  But not matter what, we stick together.  Here are a few things I’ve learned from my three closest friends. Lolly (because who is a better friend than my sister?) Stand up for yourself.   Don’t ever let people walk all over you.  If they don’t care about you, then there is no reason to care about them. You are safe.  God will always protect you.  You are loved, and there is nothing that can change that. It’s okay to cry.  Just don’t lose hope....

I'm Finally Back + Exciting News

Image
Image via Pinterest Hey Everyone! I seem to have taken a brief (but much needed) blogging hiatus.  I was feeling a little discouraged and uninspired.  This time has helped me to refresh my mind while coming up with tons to talk about in upcoming posts.  And now, even when I finally post again, it's just a short one.   But   one filled with an exciting announcement...  I checked my number of followers sometime last week.  It was a measly 21.   This was the beginning of my blog burnout .  I was feeling discouraged.  On Saturday I checked my stats, and I had an amazing 90 followers!  It's amazing that people actually want to read my writing.  People all over the place are going to read these words I write. This afternoon I checked my stats and  literally squealed .  I now have  a gigantic 222 followers!   I don't know where all of this traffic come from, but I'm not complaining! As a ...
