The Beginning of a New Adventure.
Ha ha. It seems like my life is full of beginnings right now which can be such an excited existence but it is also full of a crippling fear of failure. But the only person I can fail is myself.
Why am I starting this blog?
The reasons grow and shrink daily but there are a steady handful of reasons that vary from it being a means of me processing change to possibly helping others through hard times similar to mine. We all need to know we aren't alone in our struggle. We also need to be able to laugh at ourselves, at each other and at life. Believe me I laugh at myself hourly these days so don't feel bad for laughing at me too.
I have this quote that I find myself thinking of almost on a daily basis. It makes me find peace in my decisions of finding a new path. It goes like this....
I have spent enough energy allowing fear to control my life, the person that I am to become and the mother that I am to my children. No longer!!! I am the only person that can affect the true changes inside of me and my life that I want for me and my kids.
What Defines Me...
My children, my children and oh my children. But I have also realized that I need to be my own person. So to define myself in a way that you may understand here we go.
I am an artist at heart. I love mostly all forms of self expression. Those that I love I love fiercely. My circle may be small but it is a strong circle. I also am very willing to try new things because you don't know you don't like it unless if you try it.
Life is for living and sharing. No matter where we have walked in the past our future path is undefined until we make the choice of one way or another. Even then we can reevaluate and change courses.
What I will share.
Life as a single, LDS, nursing student, working mother of 3 gives me an interesting life. As a family we like to get out and about in our local community. We also love to travel outside of our familiar space. We have a large variety of people in our lives which all adds up to some varied experiences and challenges. Trying to teach 3 kids about acceptance, love, patience and of hard work is a never ending job. I want to share our growth as a family and as individuals with those that are interested. I want to be able to find others that share like experiences. I also want to be able to look back over these with fondness and gratitude for where I am and where I have come from.

Excited to follow this adventure with you. Excited to see what challenges you have faced and how you have faced them. Good and bad and what you have learned from each.
