Intro to me

I’m guessing the first two things anyone who happens upon my blog would want to know is: Who is this person? and Is this worth the read? Well, I can help you with the first question, but you’re on your own with the second and hopefully you will be letting me know if it was worth the read.
My name is Shannon and I live in a small, but quickly growing town outside Charleston, SC. I have lived almost my entire life here and I don’t really have any intentions of leaving, unless someone greater than I has a plan for me that I have not yet been let in on. Never say never, right?!
I am a Christian. What does that mean…well, I’m not perfect, (definitely not, not even close), but forgiven…not better than, but a servant to…not all knowing, but wise enough to lean on my faith when there is no understanding. I am not judge and jury; I’ve dealt with enough judges and juries myself to know that the world could use a little less “hanging” and little more “loving”. So, I try to be a little more open-minded and try to look for all possible good.
I love to question and learn new things (maybe that is why I love Jeopardy so much). “Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can-there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did” Sarah Caldwell
I love quotes, when I have a good one to share, I will post it!
I am passionate about my family and friends; they are the glue that keeps me all together.
I’m in love with life and I want to make everyday a ”let us rejoice and be glad in it” kind of day. Although, not all days turn out quite so well, and sometimes you have to look a little hard for things to rejoice about.
I love music; good music and I listen to almost everything. So, if I happen to hear something I really like I will probably mention it to you, so stay tuned…
I’m pretty shy and quiet, most of the time, as least around people I don’t know real well. But, I love to meet knew people and I hope that this medium will allow me to do just that.
Ok, I’m not really sure what this blog will be about, but I hope that it will raise questions. Inspire conversation. Motivate and stimulate thinking or action or whatever the case may be...
You will find that I’m not the world’s greatest writer, but I will do my best to post as often as possible, with as much elegance and humor as possible…ok, seriously, I don’t know about elegance and humor, but you will get something! I look forward to continuing to introduce myself to you and getting to know “you”, my new blog friends!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to hear from you all, please comment!
