Introduction

         
       
 My name is Nicki Carnley.  I'm 26 years old and I've finally decided to start my own blog. Since writing is one of the skills I consider myself to enjoy and succeed in, I figured it's about time. 

Recently, someone told me I'm unique.  At first, I didn't think much of it because that word is often overused.  Then I started to really think about the aspects of my life that do make me truly unique.  My personality traits and interests are all over the place.  I've often felt like I don't fit in anywhere in particular.
  
First of all, I'm an introvert.  This is something I've been criticized for my whole life.  Recently, I have decided to embrace this part of myself and I want to help others better understand me and people like me.  

Second, I married my 5th grade crush.  True story. More on that later!  Thirdly, I love music.  I'm a firm believer in promoting what you love instead of bashing what you hate.  I have very strong opinions about the poorly written, repetitive pop songs on the radio, but I'd rather spend my time and energy on high quality music that never gets the recognition it deserves.  I'm specifically into hardcore/post-hardcore/alternative/metal/punk genres.  I'll be writing reviews and personal stories about the bands I love.  

Health is another major part of my life that I'm very passionate about.  When I read The Beauty Detox Solution, by Kimberly Snyder, my diet completely changed for the better.  I've learned what foods to eat and avoid for optimal health, proper food combinations, the best food order, and the scientific evidence that supports the program.  I've been on a two year journey of changing almost every aspect of the way I've eaten my entire life.  My desire is to share what I've gone through and inspire others to reach their health goals.  

My husband and I are Christians (another aspect of my life that is very important, but makes me not fit into any specific category) and in the world of Christianity, things like the vegan diet are not embraced as much as I believe they should be.  I love Jesus.  He is the foundation of my life and I hope to reflect the true Christ who is love.  I don't consider myself religious.  I just cherish the relationship I have with a God who is always providing and loving me.  

On this blog I plan to write about all these things and more.  My goal is to entertain and share what I've learned to spread awareness and hope.  I have an ongoing narrative dying to get out and this is the outlet where I can truly share the thoughts and opinions I usually keep to myself.  So whether you're like me and feel like an outcast who doesn't fit in most of the time, or you just want to learn and be entertained, you are welcome here.
