Becoming who I am now wasn't easy - You are LOVED!
What most people don't know about me, is that I wasn't always a happy girl. Back in 2013, I suffered from a bad depression. A lot was going through my head. To be honest, I didn't always find myself beautiful. I was a very insecure person with a lot of trust issues.
During my depression, I remember turning on KLOVE, Two songs began playing on the radio "Just say Jesus" by 7eventh Time Down and "Strong Enough" by Matthew West. While those songs played, I remember breaking down in tears. As I'm in tears, I started texting my brother Ryan who was away in college at the time. He spoke some big encouragement that I will never forget.
"I will always be here for you. Remember what you are going through right now, isn't forever."
Over those hard three years, Honestly I believe God was holding my hand steering me away from my bad thoughts of wanting to run away. I never had the courage to do it.

Songs that have helped me get through my despression that may help you, here's a list. Very deep songs that have helped me emontionally over the years.
Broken - Leona Lewis
Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis
Stronger - Matthew West
Take Me In - Kutless
In 2016, three years later, by the grace of God, my depression was GONE! It didn't happen over night, or in a year. It took three years.
To all my friends and family who were patient with me through those long three years, I want to say Thank You!
Everyone in this world, I want you to know that YOU are LOVED! God put you on this earth for a reason. Reasons we may never understand. But He is leading you through a path he believes is meant for you.

New Hobby - New Book Idea - Price Rant
What happened to all your other hobbies? Like writing, taking photos of planes, drawing, reading and even crocheting? Yes all those hobbies still exist.
Remember back in March of 2017 when I visited London? Well now that it's 2018, I purchased a DK Eyewitness book on London and a map of their Underground system. The book has arrived which is so exciting! It came with a pull out map of London. Talk about awesome!
Now that I have the book, my new hobby will allow me to study more about England's capital. Plus work on memorising some of the underground stops and where they lead to.
I have thought about writing a book based on my trip to London and Ireland. Still pondering whether or not I should do it. But if I do, it will be published.
Not sure how many of you remember when I posted about my trip. Here's the link if you want to reread it again. http://www.irishamericangirl.net/2017/06/four-years-later_3.html

Once my map arrives, my new hobby will kick in to gear.
By the way, you can the DK Eyewitness books at your local library. Or if you rather have your own copy, you can buy it on amazon for as low as fifteen dollars. It sounds like a lot but to be real with you, this book goes for thirty dollars. Yep you read that right. Expensive.
I was going to get this pocket sized book called the London Tube. And they were charging from 45 - 2.0000 dollar. I know RIGHT?! Like what the heck does it do for that much?
I will never understand what goes through peoples minds while they price these books. Do they really think people are going to pay that much for a small book? I sure would NOT!
Sorry for my rant, but I had to get it off my chest. It was bugging the heck out of me.

Rest In Peace Yosuko Sasaki
As I look back at Wednesday's stabbing terror in Dundalk, Ireland, I am so thankful that this didn't escalate to a much worse situation. Unfortunatly this terror claimed one life and injured two people. A man who was from Japan hoping Ireland would be his next step in his journey of 2018. Sadly his life was taken away. My heart and prayers go out Yosuke's family in Japan. My prayers also go out to the injured people. Let us never see something like this EVER again!
