Intro to Me

My name is Barbara Page Erdely, and, truth be told, I have been putting off this blog post. Why? Because pregnancy, and motherhood seriously puts a damper on any urge I may have had when it came to putting thoughts on paper - or computer. My son didn't like anything resting on my stomach.
Anyway, here's a little bit about me. I am twenty-seven, nine whole months older than my adorable husband, and together we have two amazing children. Honestly, I wish we could bottle the energy of our daughter - I don't remember having her kind of energy when I was her age.
I've always wanted to be an artist of some kind.
My grandfather was a talented cartoonist, and owned his own printing company. He had some paintings he had done hanging in an office. I could see them every day, and my interest in art eventually grew.

I took art classes in middle school and high school, but didn't find my love for the written word until late in high school. I found solace in writing fan-fiction on the computer, and even posted some of my stories online. But, they were crude and unedited because I didn't have the courage to let anyone else read them. That was until I enrolled in my first Creative Writing class.
Let me start by saying that my Creative Writing class was not what I expected. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect, but we had to read our stories aloud to the class. Our final story was considered mixed media by our teacher, and was not in a traditional format that I had up until then, hadn't been exposed to.
Then, my grandmother passed away.
This was a very dark time in my life. I had grown up with her. She had been a part of my life every day for seventeen years. My life took a dark turn, and my grades began to slip. With my interest in school diminishing, my writing increased. Instead of short pieces, I started creating in-depth characters and what-if scenarios for several fandoms.
It was an escape.
Then, it was time to choose a college, and I was stuck with two choices. On one hand, I could study Communications at Meredith College, or I could broaden my horizons and attend UNCW. Of course, I chose the latter (with the bonus of having my older sister attending there as well). I majored in Creative Writing, and met my future husband.
I am working on several projects right now, but I am actively crafting my Draconis series. Hopefully, my first novel, The Rise of Fire, will be available in 2019.

Letting go for me is one of the highest form of love. If you are thinking of what will be the best for the other person and not just where you will keep trying to fit in the picture, then that is unconditional love. Again, you don't have to be in the scenario all the time. You don't need to be taking things all the time. If you give a hundred percent of your tolerance to any situation, it's more than all the material gifts you can provide for someone combined. I am not even sure where this idea is going but I think I am too jaded to make decisions.

The body has a natural ability to heal itself. The secret to staying healthy is to make sure your body is getting all the right amount of nutrients. We also need to avoid eating anything in excess which might result in abnormalities. This is where diseases like hypertension, cancer and diabetes will arise. Kidney and liver diseases are also widespread. The only way to combat this is to eat healthy. I almost forgot to mention that we also need to have a cheerful outlook in life.

I know what I must do to lose weight. I guess it's true what they all say. You must not fight temptation, you must avoid it. You can't fight. You will never win that way. The only way to win is to stay as far away from it as possible. I am not sure what this could mean but I guess I should have no money left for all that excess junk. If I do, I would have always indulge in it. It's not going to be good for my health. I must stay away from any scenario which can tempt me to overeat.
