Well hey there! My name is Tiffany Parks and I’m so happy you are here! I decided to start this blog as a way to connect with people just like you and to share my perspectives on living your best life.
I am an Ohio based young woman who is simply trying to do her best. I’m using this space to not only share perspectives on intentional living, but also document my journey of faith and living with chronic health issues. You can read more about that here.
What you’ll find here…
On this blog, you will find all sorts of information about intentional and authentic living- living imperfectly but finding joy regardless. Looking for college tips and tricks? How to manage your time successfully to spend more moments where it counts? Creating a first time budget to save for the dream trip you’ve always wanted to take? Struggling with health issues and looking for others who share your experiences? Find yourself asking “why me” and wrestling with trusting Christ in the midst of trial? This blog will help you find ways to grow in your life to be the most authentic you you can be! There’s a little something for everyone here. 🙂
I started this blog because I was craving information about how to live well. I didn’t even know what it meant to “live intentionally” but I knew I wanted to live better. In the midst of dealing with complicated health problems, I wanted to find a way to encourage others my sharing my experiences- in and out of waiting rooms. My hope is to share my findings and be a helping hand in learning to live well in your day to day life whether you are a fellow chronic illness warrior or just someone looking for ways to improve your life.
I also hope to share my love of Christ and faith in Him. Throughout my life I’ve walked with Jesus- sometimes closely and sometimes with a bit more distance. But if I’ve learned anything about the Lord it’s that He never leaves me, even when I tend to pull away. Prone to wander, I’m leaning into Him daily and hoping to point others to His unfailing, never-giving-up love!
Why a blog?
After suffering a traumatic brain injury that severely changed the course of my life, I began to see life through a different lens. I realized that I couldn’t take even the smallest of moments for granted. I needed to do my level best to live fully while I still could. For me, it took a life changing experience to give me the kick in the pants I needed to savor life more. I hope that this blog will be a (hopefully less severe!) nudge you need to start living with intentionality and authenticity- however imperfect that may be!
This blog is for you, yes you! Whatever stage of life you are in, everyone can learn to appreciate more about life. Along with practical tips I’ve picked up over the years on living well, I’ll also share my insights on simple, day to day living! I hope to share my experiences with health and wellness as I document my journey through various diagnoses as well alongside my faith walk with Jesus. Sometimes all we need to do is look at things from a different perspective!
So, Welcome!
