Hello there,

I have to say this will be my very first blog post and let me tell you, I am terrified but excited. So, in other words mixed feelings. This is something new to me, but I know when I continue to work on it, I know I will get better at it. I am a single mother, which is a fulltime job, who works an even longer fulltime job and has many interests. Like many of us I have come to a fork in the road that can either be my demise or my salvation. It’s how I will approach it, that will lead me to my peace, which I am desperately seeking.

I have been told by many of my friends, family and complete strangers that I live an unusual life and the way I approach it is not always how others would approach it themselves. That I give “perspective” a whole new word, according to some. I try to see the best in everything and hope for a better outcome. Now don’t get me wrong I am not a “let it slide” or “chilled glazed peace-lover”. I take what is given and I make it my own. Sure, I may complain about it but who wouldn’t in the process but it’s the work I put in it to make it what it is. So, some would say that I am hardheaded or stubborn and they may be right. I am Sagittarius I don’t follow what other people do or say, I do the complete opposite. Life is so much more interesting when you don’t follow the rest of the world. Wouldn’t you agree?

So, with this new journey I am about to embark on, I will cover most of my life. This place will cover Books that I have read or were recommended to me. I am an avid reader. I read a total of 5 books a week. A book for each room and I am talking about actually hard cover, books that you have in your hands. The kind you flip the pages, not swipe. I do listen to audio but only in the car, doing dishes or laundry.

Another interest of mine are quotes!! Everybody has a different meaning, opinion or experience when it comes to quotes. I will post a quote, who it is by and write what they mean to me, and I hope that you would be able to tell me how the quote makes you feel.

As I mentioned before, I am a Sagittarius, and as a Sag we love to travel. With two full time jobs, sure it can be tricky, but I am one that is fine exploring different parts of my home state of Ohio. Though there are many and I mean many times I have commented that if a friend suggests that we leave Ohio I am the first to be on board in wanting to get out of the state! But in the meantime, I will either hop on my motorcycle or in my car and go. It may not be exciting as Fiji or Bali but trust me one day I. Will. Go. For right now I want to see what, and I mean what, Ohio has to offer besides its corn fields and cows roaming. I know there is more than just that here, but it’s the experience that thrills me. An even bigger plus, it’s always amazing when I have friends to explore with. Making it even more exciting!

Among my busy life, the most important thing that keeps me grounded is my daughter. I have mentioned that I am a single mom, some would say by choice, but I have a different saying in that, but I’ll save that for later. I have a lot of people ask me as to how do I do what I do with a full-time schedule? Well, there is a lot I can say on that, but I’ll tell you later on what all I do to keep it all balanced. Oh, believe me it’s not easy being a single parent but it has it awards. On here I would like to help those who are new to being single moms, or single parent, to let them know that they are not alone and that there are MILLIONS of us out here and are willing to help. “It takes a village” and they weren’t kidding. You will find this in my ‘things to do with your kid, ‘ Tab

With being “Busy” you can say that I have many Hobbies. When you hear people say that “they are bored” I never quite got that. Like how are you bored? If I ever have a spare time, I always find something to do that I enjoy doing. That either buy myself, with my daughter or with my friends. There is always something to do and I am not talking about chores either. There is a time and place for that but that’s not for here.

Now, as I mentioned before, I was told that I give great advice. I work in the medical field, and I have to say mental health is a must have acknowledgment. There are so many of us who cannot decipher on how to go through life when life gets hard. Sure, there are therapist, which are great, but there are some who can’t afford to go. Yes, we all have friends we can go and talk to but there is a limit as to what you can talk about, in some cases. So, on here I hope to be that anonymous outsider to help with your troubles. All there is to it is that you would contact me, I read through it, and I would publish my answer to your question to the best of my abilities. The good the bad scenarios and I would have you map out on how you would want to proceed. Now I wouldn’t blast your name or your troubles, I would of course keep that all to myself but the reasoning to publishing it would show that you are not the only one with the problem. Who knows maybe your problem could be someone else’s solution. We are all on this earth, why can’t we all help one another to achieve something better? This will be under my “contact me” or “Dear me, or it’s ok,” tab.

So, I hope this finds you in great spirits and I hope that this blog of mine will come to give you some relief. That is my goal.

Until next time, take care
