Hi, friend! Thank you so very much for coming to check out my page! For those who don’t know me yet, I want to share my story and my hopes with this space.
I’m a happy lady, wife to my awesome husband, Patrick, and mama to four not-so-tiny people…now ages 14, 12, 9, and almost-7. I’m a speech pathologist and a someday-wanna-be lactation consultant…but for now I’m home tending to my little crew.
In the midst of life’s daily dish of crazy, I’ve come to enjoy writing, as it helps me process the little things. I began to wonder: maybe I’m not the the only one kicking around the same ideas in my mind, and maybe some of these ideas need a voice? If I’m aiming to surrender to the still and also soak up the ridiculousness … maybe some of you might like to ride along shotgun and we can sort it out together?
As time went on, I feel like there was a growing snowball of whispers and nudges from people in my life, near and far, who were guiding me in this direction and when my dear friend showed me this:
…it was the final push I needed to just go for it, put myself out there and give it a try. I’ve got little to lose and much to learn. I have no idea what lies before me with this whole blogging thing, but I figure the first step is showing up and I’m open to wherever this path takes me.
Life is crazy busy beautiful, and in the end all we ever really have are moments. The big ones, certainly, but the small ones too. The in-between moments. The life-lesson ones. The infuriating ones. Moments of bliss and peace and joy. If we don’t take pause to let ourselves soak them in, we are missing the whole dang thing.
Nothing novel here. Just a regular girl trying to soak it all up.
Care to share your thoughts?
