So for the past few days I've been struggling trying to come up with what my second blog post would be about. Should it be about Jehovah's Witnesses? My unusual Christmas? Venting about the challenges of Boxing Day shopping? No matter how hard I tried I couldn't seem to write anything satisfying. Then the other night I came up with an amazing idea. 2015 is just around the corner and I still haven't thought out a New Year's resolution! But what would my New Year's resolution be?
There is so much I would like to accomplish in my life so it was hard to pinpoint only one thing to work on this year. However, it soon became clear what my resolution should be. For quite some time now I have been having difficulties with my health and well being. This upcoming year I have decided to focus on those things. If I want my dreams to come true, then I must start with the basics.
Improving well being can include many things so I can try focusing on a different aspect every month. Who knows how things will be at the end of 2015! One thing I do know however is I have a lot to look forward to!
This year, I will become healthier and happier through the power of love and gratitude. This year I will find myself...

Welcome To My Blog!
Hello everyone! I'm Vanessa (aka Painted Lady, Painted Lady The Apostate or The Amber Butterfly) I'm making this blog to share multiple aspects of my life. Anything from everyday events, my inner thoughts, or my experiences of the Jehovah's Witness will be discussed. I'll pretty much talk about anything here so be ready for a mixed bag!
So to start off, I'm going to tell you a bit about myself. I am currently 18 years old and live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I grew up in a Jehovah's Witness family and would have been a fourth generation JW if I had been baptized. I began looking into the history of the Watchtower Society when I was 15 and officially stopped going to meetings in April after slowly tying to fade.
I've tried doing this on Youtube, but lets just say I get a bit camera shy... lol. I do have a channel though and made my debut in September after shaving my head! You can find a link to my channel at the end of this post.
I haven't made a video in quite some time however. Things have been really stressful for me lately. First off my health hasn't been good. I'll talk about that more in the future. My grandma has also been in the hospital and I am in the process of helping her move to a nursing home. It's especially hard because she has dementia. It's heartbreaking to see her so confused... On top of that I have multiple other stresses such as my guinea pig's upcoming surgery and my dog's behavioral issues. It all adds up and it's gotten to the point where I can barely function these days.
My hope is that a blog will be easier for me to keep up than a Youtube channel. I'm not saying I wont make more videos but for now this is a lot less stressful for me.
