Welcome to Arianna’s Random Thoughts! I’m glad you found my blog and I’m excited to connect with you.
You may be asking, “How did you come with the name for your blog?” Well, like yours, my random thoughts (i.e., my life stories) are unique. Check out my story here.
We all have obstacles to overcome on our journey and need to support each other. Hence, why I decided to share my thoughts with everyone to show you that you don’t have to go through the journey alone.

As an educator, I know that the formal classroom is not the only place learning occurs. Lessons, especially important life lessons, can be taught anywhere by anyone.
I love storytelling as that is how knowledge is passed along. On my blog, I will be sharing research and my personal stories as well as asking others to share theirs (check out the Profiles of Perseverance series). You share your story and we’ll (me and the community of readers) help you get through it by our presence and support.
The beautiful mission statement that I wrote sums up the aim of my blog:
Love your blog Arianna!!

Well I’m not exactly sure what possessed you to follow my blog…did you lose a bet?…I’m glad you did…but first I feel it essential for me to pass along a few suggestions first time readers have found helpful in creating a truly tremendous read:
1) Prepare a large tumbler of your favorite ice-cold beverage.
2) Find a supremely comfy area and recline.
3) Put you feet up.

Hi Arianna – I just stumbled on to your blog from a posted comment on twitter. It’s great to see a blog that highlights inspirational people. We all have a story to share,I just completed my first book about living with Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy. My inspirational story is living proof that the human spirit can be tested over and over. With a lot of perseverance, we can get through any difficult situation.
