I like words. Quotes, especially. They can connect you to a moment in time, elicit an emotion, make you stop and think. I can spend hours searching the internet for quotes that people have taken the time to display in some artistic fashion. I love not only the words themselves, but how they are presented. The font. The background. The colors. They were all chosen for a reason, and the combination of all those elements defines it.
So what are the elements that define me?
1. I have had wanderlust since birth (or approximately thereabouts).
Dad was flying jets for the Air Force in Keflavik, Iceland when I joined the picture. My first time on an airplane was at 3 months old, transatlantic. The traveling hasn't stopped since.
2. I'm an audio learner, but I think visually.
Music is a massive part of my life. Once I hear a song, it usually sticks and doesn't go away easily (I still know all the words to my favorite Psalty and Doughnut Man songs). But when I sit and reflect, I see colors, faces, the curves of landscape. I love to communicate through photos, showing you the world as I see it.
3. People are my world.
Moving around constantly as a kid (Air Force BRAT), I didn't have much of a physical home. "Home" was my family, the people surrounding me. Nothing fills my heart with joy like spending time with people, relating to them, and seeing reflections of God's love in their faces.
4. I love.
Period. Love is how I relate to the world. Love is how I understand. Love is how I experience God, since He is Love (1 John 4:7-8): I experience Him in His outpouring of love in Christ on the cross, by the Spirit loving others through me, in the love that is sparked by witnessing His awe inspiring creation every day.
5. I like numbered lists.
See above.
