One Gift Started It All
My betta obsession began at six years old,
on an unforgettable trip to the pet store with my grandmother...
As we stood by the wall of colorful fish, a stunning teal betta, gently placed in my hands captured my heart.
I named him Blue Fin, and despite my early mistakes and inability to keep a tank up on my own, (Thanks Dad For The Help), Blue Fin flourished. He became even more precious to me after my grandmother passed away a year later.
I often find myself reflecting on that special day many years ago, wondering if my grandmother realized the incredible gift she gave me—
A passion that brings me joy every single day

"A Righteous Man Cares For The Needs Of His Animals"...
When I read Proverbs 12:10, everything made sense!
It is our God-given responsibility to love and care for creation. This explains why we feel the way we do when observing neglect or misuse. And it reinforced my desire to provide the best for my betta.
Take a moment to appreciate the details of this hobby. There is divine beauty all around you. Every detail is a reminder of the care and purpose woven into creation, inviting you to see and feel His love for you.
Psalm 19:1 - "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

Fun Facts
I have a room full of plants, Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book, I like the smell of a good campfire, I was born and raised in the south, I’m a self-taught artist, I hate cilantro, roller coasters scare me, fall is my favorite season, freeze-dried strawberries are the best snack, I used to think salmon and Solomon were the same word, I tried to fly with a bed sheet once (don't recommend it), and I enjoy cooking as long as I can put chocolate on it.

These Are A Few
Of My Favorite Things
These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things
When I'm Not Cleaning Tanks
or making faces at my fish,
You Can Find Me:
Perusing the PLANTS at Home Depot, Curled up with a GOOD BOOK, Scouring Pinterest for NEW HAIRSTYLE ideas, or ORGANIZING my closet for the 50th time (I really do enjoy it).
I feel the most alive during fall, and spend all my time outdoors on the back porch with a cup of Chai.
My favorite thing about overcoming social anxiety, is now I can ask my local restaurant managers for plant cuttings!
I've always been a curious person. And thankfully Youtube and Google have been there to help me keep the intrusive thoughts from winning. I can see what a fork in the microwave does without actually blowing myself up!
I love food with LOADS of flavor. If it tastes like cardboard, I'm not having any of it!
I’m obsessed with bettas and plants. There’s nothing I enjoy more than teaching others how to care for their bettas so they can thrive and live long, happy lives. It’s such a rewarding experience.
I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE
ALONG FOR THE RIDE!
