One Little Word

I love the "One Little Word" concept. And this year instead of choosing my word- it chose me….EMBRACE.Already this one little word has made a profound impact on my new year. My mission statement for the year sounds a little something like this…
To embrace the beauty and God's blessings of every single day- no matter where I am or what circumstances I'm facing! To embrace the "little moments" that will never be again. Knowing 2011 holds the life changing event of becoming a mommy- I want to embrace and make the most of the time Josh and I have left as "Throckmorton party of 2." And most of all, to embrace each day with purpose and intent and stop focusing on the things that won't matter in the end.

I miss out on a lot by waiting for "perfection" instead I'm going to embrace the chaos of this beautiful crazy life I've been given...
This blog is a testament to my mission statement. It's something I've had on my heart for over a year and I have always had an excuse for not publishing it…"I don't have the perfect name. I don't know how to do all the fancy things to make my page exactly what I want. I'm not good with words and a horrible speller. What if people make fun of me. Do I want to be so vulnerable to others? Those who will read it already know all about me and my life"…I don't know what God has in store for this blog- it may be for nothing more than to keep family and friends posted about the little things happening in our home and of course, updates on the sweet blessing we will welcome in April...I don't know, but I'm doing it! so...WELCOME! Here's a small glimpse into my life...which I believe is best described as "A Royal Ruckus"
