My Here and Now....

Writing a blog is not something that has EVER appealed to me, but alas, I am going through what I like to call a "Change of Grace" in my life.  My outlook on life has changed as my children have grown and begun to be more independent, allowing me to reflect on the past, form hopes and set goals for the future. I have a simple but fervent desire to live in the moment and create memories with my children that will sustain me when they are grown.  The empatis for writing this blog was a recent reminder, from a couple of dear friends, that I may just have forgotten my worth in this world and that I have a creative side that I need to nurture.  I have always had quite a penchant for writing creatively about my life experiences and truly believe the catharsis of this blog will be priceless.  The basis for most of the anecdotes and reflections will be my children and my desire to become healthier and happier for them.  Painfully honest and genuinely self-deprecating, I have lots to say - I hope you'll visit my blog often to see what I am up to.
