What I Am All About.

Run, Sew, Pray, Love.

What this blog is all about in four simple words. 

Before we get to that, I'll start with the simple stuff. My name is 

Heather Karen Lieber.

Karen is my grandma's name...I love it so much it tags along with Heather on my email, blog address, and even my Instagram handle (that's big people).

 Lieber doesn't get enough credit. It is a beautiful name with a proud heritage. I am one-fourth Swiss, and the word Lieber can be translated to "beloved". That makes me sound pretty exotic, I'd say. 

Other than my name all I have to say is...Greetings Blogosphere! I look forward to becoming better acquainted.

Now onto my four words of choice...

Running is one of my greatest passions in this beautiful life. Running on the cross country team  throughout high school has taught me more than I can put into words. It introduced me to not only my means of staying healthy, but also my therapeutic addiction. 

I dare you to find a running picture of me with a pleasant face.

Sewing and crafting also have a special place in my heart. From cereal box cash registers to crudely sewn bags in my childhood, my mind runs faster than I can keep up with when it comes to my creative side. For as long as I can remember, my next project is always lined up in my head before I even finish what's in front of me.

Praying is my chosen verb to describe the importance of spirituality in my life. I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (that's hard to write without breaking out into song). In other words, I Am a Mormon! I love this gospel, and I owe everything I have to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I have been blessed with a healthy body to run, a keen mind and working hands to create, and the best part is...the joy that these hobbies bring me all comes from God as well. I am a limited human serving a limitless God. With him, my potential is limitless as well. Despite my imperfections, he forever loves me perfectly. And for that, I will be grateful through the eternities. Among your Internet surfing, I highly recommend lds.org. The inspirational resources there are endless!

Loving is of course very closely knit to my religion. Christ is the perfect example of pure love. Everyday I work toward loving others and life in general at that great capacity. A good friend of mine often says, "That's a good human". We're all good humans for completely different reasons, and that is why we need each other. The good in one of us compliments the good in another. And for that, 

I love humans.

So much love in this picture, it hurts.

Last of all, I'd like to address the common theme among these words.

Verbs. 

Action words. 

Because if you have passion, desire, and faith in something, you better take action. My actions stemming from these four passions is what I hope to manifest in this blog.

With Love,
