For many years I have focused on what other’s thought I should be. Daughter, big sister, wife, mother and in my career, waitress, teacher and secretary or clerk. I did them, all of them. Was I happy or content? For awhile, maybe. I don’t think I have ever known if I had a specific talent, gift or calling because I was to busy trying to be the best at what others thought I should be. Being a Mother, to me, has been my greatest accomplishment in my life. I have never loved 2 human beings more in my 56 years. However they grew up and started their own families and left a hole in my life. That along with my divorce after 28 yrs of marriage is leaving me to find me.

I’m terrified!! Who am I now?? What do I want from the rest of my life? Am I good at anything else?

In the last 9 years I have struggled with this but now I think it’s time to figure me out. Not getting any younger . So let’s see what’s out there for me!

Life has been a journey. Sometimes up and often times down. I want to share and hope that my journey will help others who seem to think that they are all alone when actually there are others out there who have experienced the same things.

We have all been hurt and used by life and believe it or not, by our own choices. I believe that we need someone who understands, someone to listen and to guide when needed. Someone who actually cares. Life can be hard but when you have someone to talk to and share that experience, good or bad, it makes our journey better.

I want to use my blog to share the ups and downs and to share the lessons learned.

Nothing Fab or Fancy just an ordinary life but one that I have traveled.

Thanks for joining me!
