An Unnamed Tag

Hello darlings!! I was nominated for this tag-who's-name-is-unknown-to-me. Thanks Kaitlyn!!
Here are the questions she asked me:

1) What is your dream job and why?
It is my passion and dream to become a recording artist. Making music is something that really speaks to my soul and it helps to clear my head of nonsense when I need to focus on something. I've also found that there is something about a song that can unite people under one love, idea, and God. So being the instrument(I crack myself up!) that can do that would be so fulfilling.
2) What are your 3 favorite hobbies?
The general category of music, reading, and playing Trivia Crack. Blasting my family and friends with random knowledge is pretty awesome!!
3) If you could go anywhere, where would it be?
This is so generic, but I definitely want to go to Paris, France. But who doesn't, right??
4) What book has most impacted your life?
Other than the Bible, I would say that The Count of Monte Cristo has taught me a significant amount about human nature, love, and the negative effects of revenge and sin. It's a really long read(1257-ish pages), but it is totally worth it!!
5) Who are your favorite bloggers or blogs?
      Obviously my best friend Theresa is at the top of this list. She has ah-mazing blog called Tmarie. She specializes in vintage outfits, photography, sewing, and cake decorating. Theresa is one of the most talented people I know and everyone could benefit from visiting her blog.

      Next is A Beautiful Mess. Elsie and Emma run this blog with a simple beauty that appeals to most people. Their lifestyle blog inspires me to look for the simple things in life, while being using my creativity to provide another way to enjoy those things.

Third on the list is Gossiping With Dragons, run by Imogen Elvis. She's a writer and quite new to the blogosphere. I've only recently found her blog, but I've read many of her posts. She's entertaining, helpful, and it's just fun to read her words. So if you're an aspiring writer you should definitely check her out.

Finally I have Olivia from Snapshooting My Life. As you can probably tell from her title, she's a photographer. And a great one at that. She has a great eye for the little details and is great at taking selfies with a professional camera!! Check her out and follow her for great pictures and funny ramblings!!
6) What is your current favorite song?
This will forever be the hardest question I am ever asked. There's just so much great music!! But I have to say that Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud is my favorite right now. But you probably already knew that if you read my last post ;D
7) Do you have a favorite quote? If so, what?
Another tough question.... But I have to choose this one: She was fascinated with words. To her, words were a thing of beauty, each like a magical powder or potion that could be combined with other words to create a powerful spell.     ~ Dean Koontz
This quote is so me it's insane.
8) If you could only have one social media site, what would you pick and why?
Probably Instagram. Follow me @callanrushing
9) What book of the Bible are you reading?
Romans 8. There is a lot of meaty stuff in this chapter.
10) What is your favorite Bible verse?
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

I hope all of you are having a wonderful New Year!!

#ThankfulFor

I've been tagged by Theresa to name 15 things that I'm thankful for!! I'm going to name the things that aren't quite as obvious such as....

1. Freedom: After recently watching The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay: Part One, I can honestly say that I am beyond grateful to live in a free country.

2. Music: I truly believe that I would go insane if I didn't have music to listen to. It's just beautiful to be able to listen to anything that fits my mood and feel better.

3. My Driver's License: In a word, amazing!!

4. Education: It's a no-brainer, but you can accomplish so much more when you know what you're doing. Duh.

5. Yoga Pants: Please watch this video to understand.

6. Social Media: I know it seems shallow, but I'm able to stay connected with my friends who I don't get to see very often or who live far away.

7. EOS Lip Balm: It's a lifesaver in these cold months!!

8. People Who Believe in Me: It's a great feeling.

9. My Church: We're still fairly new (it's only been a year since we started going), but I know that I've made life-long friends there and I've grown closer to God in the year that we've been there.

10. Bath and Body Works: They have so many amazing scents!! To name a few, Espresso Bar, Paris Amour, and Twilight Woods *swoon*

11. Pinterest: Many things in my life have flourished because of Pinterest. Mostly obsessions, but it's all good, right??

12. Christmas Music: 'Tis officially the season!!

13. The Internet: I think that everyone understands this(:

14. Photography: So I can live vicariously through others.

15. Quadruple Chocolate Cookies: I think I died and went to heaven!!

I hope that this post inspires each of you to reflect on what you're thankful for, because you never know how much it's worth to you until it's gone. So don't take anything for granted, and give back this holiday season!!

Mentally giving all of you quadruple chocolate cookies!!

p.s.
If you read my previous post you know that I'm having computer issues. Because of these issues I am unable to access my pictures from summer, so the photography challenge and summer bucket list will have to be throwback editions!!
