So, let me just start with saying I am in no way a professional writer. I have a lot to say, I have a bounty of information some valuable some maybe not so much... I am in no way saying I have all the answers, nor is all the information I share is going to work for all families. My parenting motto is what works for one family may not work for yours, but trying new ideas if it interests you, and if you find it wasn’t for you, well you gave it a try. Anyways I started this blog as a way to write, because well I love to write, but I might not be the best at it, I certainly am not great at spelling...But don’t they say the more you do the better you get? So hey here I am, sharing what I know hopefully help/inspire some along the way.
All that to said, I have a dream to one day write a book. I know I know! Crazy, for the longest time I thought for sure it was going to be a cookbook, because I love to cook, I love to bake. Food is a happy place for me. But as I grew into me, I realized it probably wasn’t going to be a cookbook. Then I felt well did I even have anything of importance to say, of value? For years I have thrown around a number of book ideas. I finally figured out just what I would be writing about. Nope sorry I am not ready to share that much yet. But I will give you a hint, it involves mamas. It has been a long journey personally to get to this point. Part of that was my own personal issues getting in the way, part of that was this feeling of unimportance, of feeling less then, part was just life in general. But I have come to a point where I wont let myself hold me back, nor life. As a mom, as a woman, we so often put others ahead of ourselves. We push things we love or want to do aside and focus on what needs to be done for the family or others in general. It’s a great quality, but it also can hold us back/prevent us from putting greatness out into the universe. This has been a personal journey for me, and anyone who knows me personally also knows that this was something I needed to figure out/ learn on my own, because yes I am stubborn and like to learn things the long hard way, instead of listening to what others have to say. Yes it’s a big fault, as I age I am learning to listen to others…a little better, my husband my disagree with that statement. All that to say I hope that some reading this will listen to their dreams. That one thing that has always sounded amazing, that one thing that that calls to you, and to not let life or your own fears about taking a leap of faith hold you back. Yes I could certainly fail at writing this book, it’s a strong possibility, but I have always wanted to write, even if I am not that great at it. I am going for my dream. And I hope this inspires others to go for it too.
