Welcome to For the Beauty of the Earth!

Posted on 12:11 by retino
Good day to you! Welcome to my blog. I'm Emma Jane, a fourteen-year-old daughter, sister, and passionate individual! For the Beauty of the Earth is dedicated to my love of music, period dramas, literature, ballet, and other such delights. I hope that what I post will be interesting and a blessing to you, and that you come back often!

 Here are a few tidbits about me:

-I have been homeschooled all my life.

-I am infatuated with history.

-My favourite things to eat are couscous and popcorn.

-I have a stuffed rabbit named Elbert who has been my constant companion ever since I was two years old!

-My favourite authors are Lynn Austin and Linda Byler.

-I adore classic poetry, especially John Keats and Robert Burns.

-I am just a little obsessed (even though I don't much care for that particular word, I can't think of another one to use in this instance:) with movie soundtracks.


-I could play the piano for hours (and very often do!)

-I hope to visit England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland someday.

-I love peppermint tea!

-My favourite book of the Bible is Proverbs.

-I just love a good western!

-I adore the music of British violinist Charlie Siem. (He's also very pleasant to look at:)

-Old musicals from the '40s and '50s and '60s make me so happy!

-I love Irish ballads.

- I was raised with the stories of Beatrix Potter and Tasha Tudor, my two favourite author/artists.

-My very favourite book ever is Hidden Places by Lynn Austin, which I've re-read three times and still haven't tired of!

-I grew up with Dr. Quinn and The Waltons (I am desperately in love with John-Boy Walton.)

-I love to dance.

-I have an entirely impossible dream of being an actress and ballet dancer in Britain in the '90s. The only problem is I'm not British, and the year is 2013.

-My favourite Bible verse is Proverbs 4:18:

            The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

  Thank you for stopping by!

         Very Truly,

                    Emma Jane
