To this day, I will never forget the inspiration behind creating this website. My daughter-in-law encouraged me to publish my work by telling me she enjoyed reading my social media posts and thought I should consider bringing my work to a different platform.  Suddenly, I was overcome with worry. Me? She said write about the moments that changed your life and the conversations you have had with others that inspired your growth. I was petrified of being judged negatively, and then I said, "Let's do this!"

Initially, we met at the beach for my first cover photo and then I wrote a brief bio for the homepage. I was completely on board and ready to start writing once I believed that this could actually happen for me. Fast forward to the end of 2022 and I realized that I have published 20 blogs, I feel like I'm getting somewhere with what I set out to do. My life has been full and wonderful, but it has also been marred by tragedies that few people know about. I will let my soul tell me when it is time to write about the adversity.

I've been writing since 2017 and each time I do, a part of me feels lighter and a bit more transparent. I feel like I'm just getting started, and I can't wait to see what the next 20+ blogs will disclose. I hope you will continue to join me as I reveal parts of my life that have motivated me to become a woman who refuses to look back and say, "no one wants to hear what I have to say".  Nope, that inner critic has been silenced and she's on fire.
