My name is Kristy Griffin. I love to write. This is my blog…
I don’t know what to expect from this blog, so I can’t very well tell you what to expect either. This is all new to me. I know I love to write. I think I always have. When I felt I had already “bent” God’s ear enough and there was no one to listen, my pen would find its way to the page. For many years, my journal has been my companion, my confidant, my councilor and therapist… my best friend.
I’ve only written publicly twice, both times for “Shine Girls,” a Christian community blog. The first time I wrote about overcoming fear through faith in my Lord. My second outing, I was blessed enough to write a Mother’s Day post. I am a Christian, and I am a Momma. So… naturally these will be common topics no doubt. These are two very big things about me.
Most people associate me with those two things. One other big thing people associate me with… cancer. I am, in fact, a breast cancer Survivor. I’m not going to lie, I saw death. At times I didn’t think I was coming home. I was making arrangements. But… after a double mastectomy, chemo hair loss, and a whole lot of prayer… I get to watch my girls grow up.
“I don’t want to be a role model. I just want to be someone who says, this is who I am, this is what I do, I say what’s on my mind.”
- Tupac Shakur
I am proud of those things. All of those things. Being a woman of faith, a momma, and a survivor. I will have lots to write about on those topics. There are, however, so many more things. So many more topics and things of which to be proud.
For all my readers (wow that is weird to say, lol) I wish that my words might help in some way, shape or form. Whether to offer inspiration, insight or just to know that you aren’t alone. For those that know me, I hope this blog shows that I am more. For those that don’t know me at all… hello, my name is Kristy.
with love and excitement,
Kristy Capable
I’ve been taking pictures!!!
I’m finding more and more joy in taking pictures and editing them to ‘feel’ beautiful. I find that I’m looking at people and places differently now. I’m seeing them as I would through my camera lens. I catch myself eyeing things while riding down the road, and saying “I want to take pictures there…” When I see a child smile or an adult throw their head back and laugh, an instant desire to capture that moment takes over. ❤️
