It's Monday! You know what that means!!!!!
Oh wait - you don't know.
Because this is the first time Monday has ever meant anything important!
Welcome to Meet a Monday:
Starting today I'm introducing you to a blogger I appreciate.
Whether I love their words, photos, songs, or a combination of other things, this is where I'm going to introduce you to them!
Probably it's because they point me to Jesus.
I'll start off the feature by introducing you to Kacia. She blogs over at Kacia + Robot!
On her blog, under her very pretty picture, words say:
"I'm Kacia: midwest born, Pittsburgh living. Scandinavian mutt with natural blonde hair. I am a child, wife, mommy, sister, + friend. I never want to settle. I always want to dream. +I know God can turn things around: I am an example of that."
So really you should love her already from those words she wrote about herself.
And after emailing her (she is an efficient responder - I am so thankful for people like her) a few times, I see that she really is a lovely and stunning person.
I think my favourite thing about her blog is that she writes in a way that is just so kind. She's not pretentious or trying to prove anything - she's just sharing her life. She shares a lot of photos of her beautiful daughter and the husband she is "annoyingly in love" with, moments of fun, the laughable days, the hard and broken situations (you can read their adoption process here), pretty photos, and many sweet words of wisdom. She's great!
Also - she has straight bangs. I think I have insta-respect for anyone with bangs because they're not the easiest hairstyle to make work every single day. Hers look incredible. Respect. I have bangs. Yep, I do.
So here goes.
This is Kacia.
What are three words you'd use to describe yourself?
blonde. joyful. annnnnnnd um. [this is hard!] chatterbox? Jk. although that's true. blonde, joyful + dreamer.
What's your favourite time of day?
mornings - I feel the most productive + it's the quietest!
What's your coffee order?
black. no sugar. no cream. just ....er, about 10-12 cups of black coffee a day. I'm norwegian. don't hate ;o]
She's a girl after my own heart - black coffee is a good thing.

What draws your closest to Jesus?
Music + quiet time outside in beautiful places.
What's a verse that you're loving lately?
I am loving Phil 2:15 :) loving.
. . . that you may be blameless and innocent,
children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation,
among whom you shine as lights in the world, . . .
Some of my favourite posts from her blog are:
"I have learned that being quick to forgive is quite possibly one of the best characteristics of a beautiful marriage."
"I want to somehow change lives. Not me, but Him through me."
"We underestimate the power of silence. But we also underestimate the power we have to destroy it.."
"Sometimes it’s easy to blame a bump in the road for a reason to turn
around. To quit dreaming. To quit trying to dent this universe. A
small dent, but a dent nonetheless."
Kacia is also part of an incredible group of women who started something beautiful.
It's called #SheReadsTruth. You should check out what they're doing and join in.
Also (as if this girl isn't doing enough and as if you needed another reason to love her) - she has a fun summer photo link-up. I did it on Saturday but it's supposed to be on Friday's. Join her, okay, and check out mine because I show you my new blonde hair! Summer change!
So this has been installment one of Meet a Monday! Yay!
I hope you had as much fun as I did getting to know Kacia.
If you somehow managed to make it this far without clicking any links, be sure to check out her blog, twitter, facebook, pinterest, store, and whatever else you might find.
Enjoy.

Be sure to pop back in every (most) single day Monday in order to read the stuff I post meet a great and lovely blogger!

I must say. It's been fun emailing back with different bloggers and photographer's and getting them on board with this project! Get ready for some really fun people showing up here. If you would like to be featured, either comment here or send me a direct message on twitter @nadinewouldsay

You've made it this far. You might as well comment and say hello so I can come read your blog, follow you on twitter, or just have the knowledge that the visitors who come here have a voice.
While you're at it, if you'd like to snoop around a bit, you can learn a bit about me. Learn why my blog is called a Secondary Heartbeat, what God's been speaking to me lately, learn the moment I realized God's plan is on a different time zone than mine, get a glimpse into my perspective on worship, listen to a song I wrote, see my latest DIY project, and then click that pretty little Google Friend Connect button and follow along here so I can come follow you too.
. . .
Happy Monday!
