The Beginning

My name is KristiLyn Wilkinson, Yes, the L in my name is capitalized, no I don't know why, but that is neither here nor there. You see, I have been on this journey as of late called "self discovery." You may of heard of it, or it could be a phase of life unique to only myself. Maybe it's because in the past four years I've been through what I would consider some of the most significant events of my life, or maybe it's because I'm almost 29, which means I'm almost 30, and who doesn't reflect on their life and where they are headed at 30? During all of my soul searching I decided that maybe I should be better at keeping a journal, which would allow me to process and analyze my thoughts and feelings. Then I remembered that I am the WORST at writing in my journal, and seem to be getting worse at it the older I get.

Then I had the brilliant idea to start a blog because I am always on the computer and would be more likely to update a blog. My second brilliant idea was to create a blog called "creating happiness" because at the end of the day, that is what I am trying to do in every decision I make, every piece of chocolate I devour, every snuggle with my baby...trying to create happiness in my life. And we all know happiness is created, not found, right? Good. Well who would have thought that the blog name "creating happiness" in every variation and possible rearrangement and spelling of the word was unavailable. Like how many other people are out there trying to create happiness, or bliss, or any other synonym that I tried to use. I guess I'm not so unique in my journey after all. Except that I am, we all are.

This is how lemons2lace was born. Sometimes I feel like a lemon. I don't know about you, but I personally don't love to sit down and suck on a lemon, and if you've ever googled 'baby eating lemons' I don't think I'm alone in that thought! Lemons are used for many things, but first they must be juiced or squeezed and made into something better. However, I do love anything and everything related to lace. Lace represents grace and elegance to me and everything beautiful that I would someday like to be. This blog is about my journey from who I am to who I want to become. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do.
