The Amazing Staci: August 2011

Weolcome to My Blog

Thanks for deciding that my ideas, opinions, and thoughts were worth your time. I love to write. I am actually working on a novel and am quite excited to show the world a part of my heart and soul.
I will be writing an advice blog. This is mostly for girls but it will have some good information guys might want to know about understanding the teenage girl's mind. I am also writing about some of the good times I have had. You would have no idea how crazy a teenager's life can be until you ask them about it.
I am open to comments and advice. If there is anything I am doing well or could do better don't be afraid to tell me. I really appreciate it.
I hope you enjoy my blog. and if you do BECOME A FOLLOWER! I love followers. They are like my favorite. Right up there next to commenter s. So keep on commenting.

August 22nd

Today is the three year marker. I love you Julia. You will always be in my heart and on my mind. I hope everyone else won't forget you. Wait for me big sis, there are just some things I still have to do here on Earth and I'll see you up there in like forty years. I am so blessed to have had someone as Amazing as you in my life. I love you!

Amazing you

My tears flow and fall,
The world comes to a crawl,
All around I see the pain inside of me,
See how great others can be,
If it wasn't for you,
I have no idea what I would do,
You showed me the greatness inside of me,
The greatness I can come to be,
And now I am sitting here crying yet again,
But not like I did then,
Today I cry because I have found this peace,
Gone and defeated life's beast,
Now I can hold my head up proud,
Feeling tall as a cloud,
Just a matter of time before they try to bring me down,
I feel like I could leap tall buildings in a single bound,
Let them come to make me fall,
I will teach them all,
What it means to have love,
Not to spill blood,
So as I sit and write this I am thinking of you,
And all the extraordinary things you do,
How you always seem to just be there,
Even when I don't know that I need you here,
How your hugs can change the world,
And your eyes can see my inner little girl,
You have taught me how to fight,
You have taught me how to make things right,
It was you to hold me up when I fell,
It was you who was still there after the final bell,
If it wasn't for you,
I have no idea what I would do,
So, to you I say thank you,
Thank you for just being amazing you

Education Week

I have been attending Education Week up on Brigham Young University campus all week and so far it has been a blast. The talks have been so amazing most have moved me to tears, and if you know me at all you know I do not cry very often. This experience has really helped me learn what I need to do, need to know, and how to do if for my Heavenly Father. I have not always been very strong in the gospel and all things God, but this has really been an eye opening experience. For all of you who have no idea what I am talking about, of have never been, Education Week is basically a bunch of "Classes" you attend on the gospel. I know that sounds so incredibly boring but it really is not. It is SO fun. The fact that there are also a lot of cute single Mormons walking around does not hurt. (: If you are not a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ And Later day Saints, I challenge you to ask me about it. Ask me to explain and teach you my beliefs. I can assure you that we are not a bunch of Satan worshiping heathens like most people think. I will bear you my testimony that this Church is the only true church on Earth; that God the Father and His son Jesus the Christ live, and that the Holy Ghost can always be a constant companion to you if you live in the light of our Heavenly Father. If I have offended you in anyway by speaking my beliefs, please come talk to me about it. I would love to explain. I love you guys, Stay Amazing. (:

Find your name.

This is the definition of Staci. I found it quite suiting. Feel free to go on urban dictionary.com and really see how awesome the world thinks you are.

Staci-

Loyal, caring, sweet, intellectual girl that builds friendships with almost anyone;Will give you the shirt off her back;Loves anything that has to do with the beach, rain, shopping and sports.;She cries at the drop of a dime but she is also a thug;If you ever run into her make sure you never cross her because grudges is something she tends to hold.

"I would love to take someone like Staci out some day ."

The Quote box

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, sensitivity, an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern.”
“Beautiful people do not just happen.”

~Elisabeth Kubler Ross~

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; Who strives valiantly;;; who errs and comes up short again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who, at the best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails at least fails while doing greatly,so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
-Theodore Roosevelt

"Life has meaning. The point is to find that meaning under every rock, behind every thunderstorm, in every heatwave, through every rough time. The point is to feel that meaning in every molecule of your body, to feel it in your fingertips down to your toes, to be so filled up with love that you want to shout it out loud. The point is to never forget that life has meaning, and to never take for granted what life has given you."

"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where
you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are
born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have
received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content
with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there
for each and every one of us."

I jacked this one from my friend's blog. It is pretty epic so check it out at :

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anyone."

-Audrey Hepburn

Quote box continued

"Girls are like apples. The best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don't want to reach for the good because they're afraid of falling and getting hurt, so instead they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground and aren't as good but easy, so the apples at the top think something is wrong with them when really they're amazing, they just have to wait for the right boy to come along. The one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top." -Pete Wentz

"The hardest thing is holding on, especially when you know he has already let go." -Unknown

"Tell calm, cool, and collected to take a hike. Whoop it up! Laugh, scream, cry, and holler! And when tons stuff stuffs up your nose, blow it loud and blow it proud! Show your heart and show some tears...of joy and sorrow, in awe and pride. Just let it out!" -Klenex.

"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show."-David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.

"Giving up doesn't mean you're weak, sometimes it just means you're strong enough to let go." -Unknown

"Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way, because without it, I don't know, maybe we wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself in the head with a hammer? Maybe because it feels so good when I stop." -Grey's Anatomy

"I AM A DAUGHTER, A GRAND DAUGHTER, A NIECE, A COUSIN, AND A FRIEND. I AM A PARTNER, A STUDENT, A YOUNG GIRL, AND A GROWN WOMAN. I AM CONFIDENT AND SCARED, TERRIFIED AND BRAVE. I AM LOVING AND CARING AND THOUGHTFUL AND HOPEFUL. I AM SICK, I AM TIRED. I AM SHY AND FRIENDLY, AND CAREFUL AND CARELESS. I AM BROKEN AND WHOLE. I AM MISUNDERSTOOD, MISGUIDED, AND MISLEAD. I AM HARD WORKING AND DETERMINED, BUT A LITTLE SCARED ON THE INSIDE. I WISH ON STARS AND DREAM MY DREAMS. I PRAY TO GOD AND CRY MY TEARS. I SMILE ON THE OUTSIDE, WHILE DYING ON THE INSIDE. I LISTEN TO OTHERS WHO WON'T LISTEN TO ME. I WALK ON EGGSHELLS AND I WALK ON FIRE. I BELIEVE IN PASSION BUT NOT TRUE LOVE. I LOVE YOU AND I PUSH YOU AWAY. I WANT YOU BUT NOT SO CLOSE. I AM EVERYTHING AND NOTHING ALL AT ONCE AND ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU TO LOVE ME." -Unknown

"If you love something, let it go, if it comes back it is yours, if it doesn't, it never was." -unknown

"I am nowhere near perfect. I eat when I am bored. I fall for boys easily. I am vulnerable to believing lies. I am hoping that one day I won't need to fake smile. I live by quotes that explain exactly what I am going through. I make up excuses for everything. I have best friends and enemies. I have drama and memories. And that is life. Live it. Love it. Learn from it." -Unknown

"If you looked inside a girl you would see how much she really cries. You would find so many secrets, and lots of lies, but what you'll see the most is how hard it is to stay strong when nothing is is right, and everything is wrong."-Unknown

"I want to be the girl he can be goofy around. I want to be the girl he can tell everything to. I want to be the girl he's scared to lose. I want to be the girl he can hold hands with in public and not care what anyone says. I want to be the girl who is always on his mind. Most of all I want to be the girl he loves." -Unknown
