Dear Readers,

I've decided to create this blog for two very specific reasons.
#1: It's required for my College Writing class and I'm getting graded on it. 
#2: I want to share a piece of my heart with the world....or just with you, whoever you are. 
Through this blog I will be writing a compilation of letters to people who I am unable to reach with just my voice. These may be people I have never met, or people who I interact with every single day. We all have people we are dying to say things to. For you, it may be that stupid guy in the grocery store who knocked a glass jar of marinara sauce off the shelf and left it splattered all over the floor, or your childhood best friend, someone in the media, politics, or even your own father. For me...well, I won't give away any spoilers just yet. I will tell you, all of the things I'm going to be writing about are very near and dear to my heart. So things may get a little messy. 
I'm a very extroverted person. One of the many lovely qualities of an extrovert is their need to process things out loud, or in this case, on the internet for all to read. This is a big part of why I am writing these letters. Through writing to these people and on these topics, I hope to obtain a better understanding of these things and learn from them.

God has filled my life with an innumerable amount of blessings. He's given me talents and capabilities He expects me to use for His glory. He's also given me a HUGE mouth. While this may not always be my most attractive quality, it's who I am, and I can't change it. It's just another way God can work through me, I guess. (I hope!)

So there you have it. I will be writing these letters to share a piece of my heart with you. As you follow me on this journey, I hope to help evoke some kind of passion within you. Even if it's only that you passionately disagree with me. ESPECIALLY if you passionately disagree! 

This life can only be lived in color. And PASSION is red. What is anything worth if you don't care about it? If you can't feel it? Together let's find out how to paint with this passion, and discover the rest of the colors.

With all my love, Meg
