Welcome!

Hello everyone! My name is Grace and I want to welcome you to my ramblings that I have named Control is a keyword in our lives. According to Webster’s Dictionary, Control is defined as to exercise restraining or directing influence over or to have power over something. We all want to be able to control what happens in our lives, whether that is the amount of drama, the measure of success or money that we make, the unnecessary tragedy, and some days we wish that we could have some control over the stupid things people tend to do. And why, because we want to be able to have some semblance of peace in our lives.

But the one thing that life will remind us of, again and again, is that we have no control over what happens. We are just living in this moment and we are trying to survive from day to day through a haze of a world that is falling apart around us. But guess what? We are all here trying to survive together and that means that we never have to try to do everything by ourselves.

Why am I starting out my blog with this topic, well it is because as much as I would love to control what happens in my life, I can’t do it. It is not within my power to be able to micromanage or macro-manage details of my life. So what I want to develop more of is communication.

Now this is something that is as universal as you want it to be. The three areas of my life that I am trying to become more adept in communicating in is with people that I don’t know, myself (my emotions), and with my equines. But it can be with your family, your friends, your employers and coworkers, or anyone else.

So why do you care about what I have to say? Well I am honestly not sure, because I am struggling through just as much as you are. I am just a college student who is trying to figure out her life. But I do want to help in some way. So my goal from this blog is going to be to open up discussions… about anything that comes to mind!

I am an enneagram type one, equestrian, musician, student, movie and tv show and book enthusiast, and a just a person with many many thoughts that I would love to share with you. So really you never know what I am going to have the urge to talk about but hopefully they will be entertaining, thought provoking, or helpful you in some way!
