Bella and Leo work together to push our buttons. Leo will push things on the floor for Bella to eat, or spread around the house to make a mess while we are away. Which is exactly why I could not start my story without sharing who these two personalities really are.

Bella is the baby. While Leo may be younger, Bella gets her way every time. Yes - I know this is the incorrect way to train a dog, but when I don't have the patience to listen to the pitiful whimpering cries asking for her heater to be turned on, a few extra kibbles, or to go to Starbucks, I tend to resort to giving in to what she wants. Yes - she is completely obsessed with the word Starbucks. Think twice about saying it, unless you are really planning to take her. Because I promise... she will not give up on wanting to go.

From the moment I saw that 1 pound, less than 8-week-old chihuahua, she had my heart. She is a part of my every day, and a main part of my story.

My story begins with the love of my life, and our two companions that make every day both rewarding and chaotic. Yes - The duo can make or break our peace and quiet after a very long day or week. 
 
Leo is both lazy and adventurous. At times, he can be this sweet and sleeping ball of fur, then the next minute he is chewing up your headphones, breaking your favorite glass vase, pushing your coffee cup off the table, ripping up your furniture and carpet, or biting your toes in the middle of the night. It is completely fitting to share the duo beginning with the biggest trouble maker...
Leo.
 
He will occasionally pop up in posts, as he is both photogenic, and a brat.  :)

It's been almost one year since I have taken the time to write something. Little do you know, there have been countless times I have taken the time to stare at a blank blog paper reviewing all of the things I want to share to the world... even if no one is listening... or reading. 

But within these countless stares, I can't think of anything that I feel the world would actually be interested in reading, which is why this post is one year late. What makes my day so important to share? What makes anyone's day important to share? With the ever increasing social media world, everyone is in competition trying to get their day, or their words, or their experiences out there for someone to read, someone to listen to them, or someone to follow them. 

Well here I am- struggling to compete with the millions out there hoping someone in this world is actually interested in hearing what I have to say.

Who knows.... Maybe I do have a story to tell?

But if no one is interested, at least I have an outlet for my creative, and always-ON mind to release some of my thoughts. Because it is completely exhausting to have a brain that doesn't even want to turn off when I desperately need the sleep.

From this day on... I will create a name for myself in this competitive world of always-on conversations. With a passion for inspirational moments, motivational songs, moments never to be forgotten, and creative bursts of energy, I will share my life through words and photographs.

My beat? You'll just have to read...

Always,
A King
