Freedom of speech…

“Creativity is intelligence having fun.” -Albert Einstein

I know, I just jumped in so let me just take a minute to explain a little more behind the motive of me starting this blog. I am not even really sure I can call it that but with all the research and books I have been reading, that is what they call it.

I am new to all of this, but have had a heavy feeling on my heart for a while and well here goes nothing.

I wanted to start this “blog” as a platform for me to download my thought and feelings in a safe, yet public space, kind of like a journal open for comments and feedback. I would like this space for all ages and for any gender. My hopes are to share my stories and spread positivity in hopes someone can relate and know they are not alone. I don’t know if my story or feelings will be relatable with anyone or any age but I need to try.

I feel like I can relate to kids going through things in life and to adults just trying to get through the day. If I can reach, relate to, or even remind someone of something good then this might just work. Life is hard and with everything there is now that wasn’t around when I was younger makes it even more hard and honestly kind of depressing.

Please remember that these will be my thoughts and feelings. I am not a big politics person, I will never push religion on anyone, and I love inspiring people. I might speak of my thoughts and beliefs pertaining to both but that is because I can.

In the next one I will share more about me and my life. If you know someone that might be interested in getting to know me or need someone indirectly please share.

Life is…

“Life is what you make it. If you surround your self with darkness it will be hard to be a light. Surround your self with light and be sure not to bring darkness.”

Life is consistently inconsistent as I have found. No matter how much I try to be consistent life will always throw you a curve. If I am being honest, I have a hard time being flexible. I plan my day, even if my day has no plan and I get set in it. How many of us, because of kids, run on a timed schedule? Wake up, get ready, drop off, pick up, snack or dinner, sports, homework, and bed.

Summer break is the most consistently inconsistent for me and I struggle. I am someone that needs routine. In time you will get to know me and I know I am sure you will start to think man loosen up a bit. I try guys, I really do and sometimes I can. As the kids have gotten older they are all so different and it is really hard because everyone is in to and doing different things. I seriously get anxiety when wanting to plan something because I know how it will go, but I always hope for a different outcome.

In the last few years I have learned a lot about myself, as life has thrown some curve balls, maybe not at me directly, but definitely in my direction. I like to think that I try to do right and make good choices, but I am by no means trying to be perfect or think I am. I try to understand that life is unpredictable and yet again consistently inconsistent.

I have a story and I have been having a tug on my heart to share it. I have reached out to friends and asked for advice on how and what might be the best way. Starting a blog and publicly sharing it allows me a platform to share and a choice to be read and shared amongst each other .

This life that we live and that will be lived, has and will be hard. All I want to do is encourage, build up, and share some of my experiences and thoughts in hopes that I might be able to be relatable and a friend to those in need of that.

Life… can be so many things, things that you choose, things that you do, and honestly things that might just happen to you to test you. Who you surround yourself with and the choices you make will either build you or break you. I hope by sharing my stories we might be able to build a community of hope and strength.
