When I originally created this blog, it was titled "Destination: Dobong". It was to be my journal as I spent 7 weeks in Dobong, Seoul, South Korea over the summer of 2010.
When I came home from Korea, I decided that I love blogging so much that I needed to keep this one going. But of course, I had to change the name. I contemplated with my friend Amber Bodine about all the words that started with "k" that we could use for a name. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I am probably one of the most creative people you will ever meet. Just ask any of my parents who have gotten a homemade gift for a present or one of my siblings who have gotten a custom shadow box after their wedding.
Look around my bedroom and you will find all kinds of creative ideas I've had, from picture collages to corkboard walls to hang notes on. I know that being creative is a huge part of my personality so I thought I would put my "creative" twist on my blog name by spelling it with a "k"!
Then I thought well what else makes me unique. My inner beauty shines more than anyting. Again, asking anyone I know, my personality is the most beautiful part of my character. It is not perfect hair, or perfect teeth, or any of those other physical features that society dictates as beautiful. It is my ability to adapt, to make the room laugh during a boring moment, to not be afraid to show emotion, to ignore those who discourage my dreams, and to shine brighter than any star. My inner beauty allows me to have the confidence to face the world, one day at a time, with no fears. I take a leap of faith on a daily basis and know that I am being guided by what makes me "beautiful" on the inside.
So combining these two most important parts of my character lead me to the blog name "Kreatively Beautiful!"
"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”
-Audrey Hepburn
