YOU have the ABILITY to CHANGE

Dear Readers,
We are all human beings, put on this Earth for a PURPOSE. The most amazing thing about life, is our ability to be who we want to be. You have the ability to say what you want to say, do what you want to do, and live how you want to live. When you are a child, your parents are there to lead you into making right choices in your life. They teach you how to walk, how to tie your shoe, how to hold a spoon (and put food in your mouth), how to love people, how to show compassion towards the fellow man, how to be respectful, manners, they teach you the main things you need to succeed in life. Sometimes in this crazy world, and you all know I think this world is crazy, I believe that we as people, forget how amazingly blessed we are. You may not like the way our country is being run, you may not like the basic rules at school, you may not like seeing stray animals, you may not enjoy the people who turn to hate to make themselves feel better. Here is the funny thing, YOU have the ABILITY to make a CHANGE. You can make a change, and it's all because everyone views the world differently. You should learn to voice your opinion in a respectful way, you should become a leader, simply because you can. If you don't like something, put together a group, lead that group, and do wonderful things. So maybe being a leader is not for you, and that's fine, but find someone to follow. Find that thing you believe in, find someone who sees a problem the way you do, and assist them to make the CHANGE. There will always be someone who disagrees with the goal you are trying to accomplish, this is a simple fact of life. Everyone is different like I've said before, so not everyone is going to see things like you do. Please don't be discouraged if you fail the first few times. It takes a great leader, and a great follower, to never give up. So here is my advice to you. Never be afraid to stand up for the things you believe in. This is not going to be easy at all, and people will try their hardest to see you fall. Never give up hope, not in yourself, nor in other people. Now get your convoluted brains working, and get out, and make a this world a better place.
Love,
Simply Shelby

Dearest Utah

My dear sweet Utah, What an amazing three weeks you've given me. You always will be my home away from home and I will always be grateful for my summers spent with you. Utah, you teach me a lot every single time I'm with you, and this year you've given me much to be thankful for. You have taught me that family is never that far away. You have taught me that life in itself gives great challenges, but those challenges make me stronger. You have taught me that one of my most favorite things is seeing my grandparents hold hands while walking together. You have taught me that the mountains are the most beautiful place in the world. You have taught me that the stars are so much brighter when you are actually looking for them. You have taught me how much I am blessed to have such amazing friends back home. You have taught me that it's okay not to look your best every day. You have taught me that Law & Order: SVU is a slight addiction shared by my cousins and myself. You ha...

102 Days.

Well Folks, it's been exactly 102 days since my car left home and headed out west. Each day that I'm away from home I discover more about myself, my relationships, and my Heavenly Father. It's hard to place a time or a date to your life changing especially when it happens over a period of time and through many hard lessons. Now more than ever I realize the importance of relying on my Heavenly Father in all times, in all things, and in all places. I have such a testimony of the love my Savior gives me. He is my constant companion and he is my everything. At times things can get dark and things can get lonely. During these moments of trial we too often forget our divine worth. We were all sent here with a unique and special plan. We were destined for greatness and we were destined to allow ourselves to achieve that divine potential. I have learned to never give up on my Savior, because when I don't give up on him I don't give up on myself. These past 102 days have...

What I want my future kids to know when they are in their early 20's.

If you've been reading my blog since the beginning you'll already know that I blog for my future posterity. If you haven't been reading since the beginning you now know that is why I blog. I've been doing a lot of soul-searching lately and I decided there are some things I really want my kids to know about my life during the early 20's. People say High School is the hardest time of your life. Those people are idiots because the hardest years of my life have been the early 20's. Here are the few things I know for certain and things I really take to heart about this time in my life. 1. Finish college. Knowing I now have a diploma and a bachelors degree brings comfort and security. I can't control many things in my life but getting my degree and being done is something I can and did control. Knowing I accomplished something hard and admirable has been incredible. FINISH COLLEGE. 2. It's okay to not be married yet. Sometimes I feel a little left behind...
