I can’t believe that time has marched us right into 2012.  Did you make New Years Resolutions?  I have set my 2012 Goals.  I don’t like resolutions I like goals.  I’m reading Simple Abundance A Daybook of Comfort and Joy by: Sarah Ban Breathnach this year.  The last 14 years I have had the pleasure of being a stay at home mom, though we own our own photography business and three kids there are times when I’m only home to lay my head on the pillow.  Over the last 14 years I have completely engrossed myself in taking care of everything the kids have needed and supporting my husbands dream.  After I turned 40 I decided I needed to start figuring out who I was again.  The kids are getting older after all they just don’t need Mom so much. I find myself with that commodity time. Which is an amazing thing, however, I am not sure who I am anymore.  I’ve been Anna’s, Owen’s, and Evan’s mom and quite comfortable with that title for some time. 

Growing up I didn’t have big dreams of being this or that…..I just wanted out.  Not all of my childhood was pleasant and memorable.  It had it’s moments…it had ups and downs.  But, it had a lot of reality.  I just wanted to be on my own doing my own thing…whatever that would be at any given particular time.

I would like to post more often and I would love some input.  What types of things interest you the reader? Now I feel like Julie in Julie & Julia…is there anyone out there even reading….well I certainly hope so.

A few months ago Nikki Sixx posted about being creative; just do it type of message.  So I jumped and dove in.

I’ve had a couple of really tough months.  The man I had the honor of calling Dad died on Dec 27, 2011.  His passing has brought up all kinds of things emotions, sadness, joy, and happiness.

I can’t decide what or where to start writing but, the plan is to write more often..

Until next time….. 

Remember the glass is ALWAYS half full!
