Silver Lining: Lining the clouds with silver

Lining the clouds with silver


I gave in. I finally made a blog. Whoever says that peer pressure ends with high school has obviously never met my roommates (whom I love even more than sour patch kids, which is saying something).

So. I’m Brooke.

I’m from Oregon, which means I love green and recycling, although I never bought into the pot-smoking, non-shaving, vegetarian revival trying to make a comeback downtown. Also, it means I love rain, and clouds.

Guess what my favorite part is about flying? The pre-packaged salt-doused peanuts….Okay, but for real, I love that no matter how dark and stormy it is on the ground, once you fly above the clouds it’s always beautiful and clear. Always.

That’s my mission. I make ways to see past the clouds and into the light. Yeah, I’m an optimist. How can people live if they’re not? So that’s what I do in my life. I make myself see the light through the clouds. I try to do that for others, too. Lots of times I don’t succeed at optimism, in fact lots of times I’m horrible at it, but I’m always working on it. In my own small way and in my tiny sphere of influence, I am endlessly…

  1. Brooke, this is amazing. You are the one who should write a book--about your experience. I bet Deseret Book would publish it. At the very least, I think you should submit an Ensign or New Era article!

  2. Brooke, saw your post on fb and came to take a peak. So glad you did not give into the Portland way (I can't imagine why a woman would want to have hairy underarms). You are wonderful example to all you greet. Thanks for sharing your sweet spirit. MD
