Welcome to my blog! My name is Alycia Dantier and I love writing, reading, planning events, and completing projects. I was born and currently live in north Georgia and I have relatives in east Tennessee and east Brazil. I love meeting new people and building community. I am obsessed with the enneagram (I’m a 1w2!), 50’s music, and planning my future (I know, it’s an issue). I aspire to become a devotional writer and a fiction novelist. In fact, I hope to publish a novel in the next year. I am 15 years old and my favorite subject in school is English (because of the teacher, not the material. Love you, Mrs. Ausband!). I love talking to 2nd-4th graders and I call my time as a 2.5-8 year old my “golden age.” I know you have questions but stick around and I promise they will be answered in time.

I grew up in church but it wasn’t until my mom decided to homeschool my younger sister and I that I actually began a real relationship with Jesus. I want to write devotionals for kids like me. Kids (and adults) who struggle with perfectionism and anxiety. One of my favorite characteristics of God is His promise of forgiveness. Also, the promise that He will do the work and I don’t need to put it on myself.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ”

Philippians 1:6 (KJV)

I have been fostering puppers and kitties for over 6 years and we adopted a shih-tu with anxiety issues in September 2017 and a tuxedo American shorthair with some sort of brain damage (he fell 14 feet onto his head as a kitten and hasn’t been 100% right ever since) in fall of 2018. My favorite color is blue and my favorite animal would have to be dogs (sorry, kitties! I love you, too).

People I have known for less than a month say I am intense and funny. People I have known for around 2 years say I am strong-willed and realistic. People I have known for too long say I am loyal, perfectionistic, and discerning. I would describe myself as black-and-white, straight-forward, critical, and genuine.

Until next time,
