just an intro

  1. The world is full of "justs". "I'm just a mom or I'm just a construction worker or I'm just a student." People need to stop thinking less of themselves and be proud of who they are. And by the way, you can't be just a mom. There is so much more to "just". Just is a word that almost everyone uses to show that what they are doing is not good or they are embarrassed of what they are doing. People must stop doing this. People should be proud of who they are and what they stand for. Sorry for that rant but I felt that it needed to be said. 
Saint Ignatius of Loyola, devout member of the catholic church, soldier, and religious reformer. He was so devout that in his life he created a group called, "The Society of Jesus" or short the Jesuits. 
The Jesuits were an elite group in the church. 
Saint Ignatius of Loyola's story has a big impact on me. In my life there are things holding me back from sprouting to my full potential. When Ignatius was a soldier, he was wounded in battle. This was a huge wake up call for him that he needed to get his life together. 
2.            Wake up calls. That's what Ignatius had. That's what I have had. Wake up calls can come in good and bad ways, but one thing holds true, they always teach a lesson. You have probably noticed that I love history and you have probably noticed my title, "the beginning". Let's consider this our beginning, nice to meet you.
