Well, things have to start somewhere.

So, this is my blog.

It’s about time. I’ve been following blogs for around four years now but never had one to myself. Recently, I’ve shared one with friends -- which is an awesome thing to do, in case you were wondering. It helped us share each other’s lives while literally on opposite sides of the country. From California, to Pennsylvania, to Alabama.

But now, I’m going to take a small bit of this world wide web all to myself... which is to say, not to myself at all. Having something wholly to just Laura Catherine Walks; well, that would be horrific.

“No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.” That’s T. S. Eliot. He’s a boss. A super complicated boss. I’m so fond of him.

Anyways, what I’m trying to say is - there’s a lot of beauty in this life. Beauty in Jesus Christ my Savior. Beauty in friendships, a good book, hard work, a well-made cup of tea, and yes, beauty in roses. But all that beauty is far less magnificent when you don’t share it with those around you. And that is what I hope to make this blog all about. About finding beauty whenever possible. And then sharing it with others.



Also, this blog is to improve my writing skills. I’ve been reading a lot of good writing lately, and also missing the outlet english class used to give me. Being in college, my classes vary vastly from semester to semester. So an outlet to write cannot be depended on. Here't goes.
