Writing this blog is a GIANT step into the next season of my life!! I hope I am an avid writer!! There have been many who have inspired me in this new season.  This is going to help me write my book in the near future. We are in the beginning stages of "empty nest".  It's soooooooo much harder than I thought it was going to be!!! There are elements that excite me and others that I can't stop crying about. In less than one month my "baby" will be graduating High School. I'm having to learn what it is to parent adult children. It's a lot harder than it looks. When I was young I didn't think I'd ever have kids but when the Lord gave me Connor I fell madly in love with him and was totally on board with being a full time Mom and Wife. Michael and I were not married but 2 months when we found out Connor would be there in 9 months. So I've been a full time Mom for the past 20 years. I didn't know it but I lost who I was when I morphed into a Mommy. I'd do it all again if I could!!! But now I am left with the dilemma of "who am I?" as Connor and Dorian are discovering their destiny. Michael and I are enjoying alone time and dating. My precious sister Elizabeth has given me crazy good wisdom to get me thru this. She said "y'all are young enough you can redo everything from your careers to your home to being newlyweds again. That sparked crazy goodness in me!! I really can be whatever I want. I'm only 40!!!! I have chosen to take that challenge and examine every aspect of my life. My first obstacle is to find out my hobbies, talents, and passions. Whew that's a huge can of worms that gets bigger daily!!! So welcome to walking out this journey with me. I'm so glad you've come along for the ride!!!!
