After much prayer and thought (which kinds of seems silly to me....to be praying about the future of my blog!!) I've made a few decision about "Daughter of the King" and "With my own two hands".
For quite some time now I've been finding it difficult to post some things here that I've wanted to. Just simple, every day things. I don't want to take away from the content that is already here. So I made a decision over the weekend that I'm hoping to implement starting today actually.
When I began Daughter of the King almost two years ago I wasn't really sure what direction it would take or even what "audience" I wanted to write for so I just decided to write and see where it led me. It has led me here, where I write about my faith and my ponderings. In the meantime I found the world of sewing and crafting. Hence the beginning of With My Own Two Hands. And then stopped posting there because I wasn't sure if I wanted it to JUST be a craft blog and have this blog be an "every day" blog. And then pretty much stopped posting anything that was going on in life in just used this as my "get it out of my head onto paper" blog.
Soooo long story short: I am going to continue posting here at Daughter of the King anything that comes into my head about the faith. Feast days, prayers, etc. Pretty much keep it as it has evolved.
But in the meantime I am going to actively begin writing over at With My Own Two Hands. That'll be my "everyday" blog. We'll see how it goes for now. In a way I kind of feel like I'm "compartmentalizing" my life....but we'll see. I really HAVE prayed about this for quite awhile now. I've even contemplated shutting down both blogs and starting over again with a whole new focus on a whole new blog. But I don't think I'll do that. At least not for now.
Maybe I've done too much thinking about all of this. But that seems to be how I go about most things in my life!! I really do want to keep blogging as I find it a good outlit for my writing which I want to develop more.
Anyways long post just to say to come by and visit me at With My Own Two Hands!

I'm so glad to hear that you're going to continue posting your reflections on the Faith, book reviews, feast day thoughts, and everything... I find them so inspiring and encouraging!
And *hint hint* I think you should reproduce some of them on A Maiden's Wreath. ;) The readers there would, I'm sure, be inspired as I am!

希望大家都會非常非常幸福~
「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上,最重要的一件事,就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己,你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗,耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己,你才能體會所有美好的東西,所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己,你才有愛人的能力,也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步,就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去,以無沾無滯的輕快心情,大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步,則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇,願意接受未知的指引;也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊,一路雲淡風輕。親愛的,你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人,在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.............................................................................................................
有時,你覺得痛。胃痛的時候,接受它,承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份,與它和平共處。心痛的時候,接受它,承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份,與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在,只會讓它更要證明它的存在,於是你就更痛。所以,.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺,還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊,不逃避,不閃躲,不再與你的痛爭執,如此,你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧,才會乖乖平息下去。....
