My Life and How I Got Here
I won't be one of those people who apologizes ahead of time and says "bear with me, this is my first-ever blog post" as a way of excusing in advance how their blog post may pale in comparison to posts of others. This blog is me...unenhanced, raw, hopefully funny, possibly helpful (to myself and perhaps others), cathartic, and encouraging. Anything I write that may resemble you or someone you know may or may not be coincidence! How do I know who's reading this thing? :-) This year has been one of stunning pain, tremendous challenge, and then, opportunity. Borne out of tragedy, it is my determination to live in the midst of great hope and optimism, to be challenged and learn, and to love--love like never before, feel like never before, and be like never before. This is not just my proverbial "year of living better." It is the beginning of my YEARS of living better and looking life in the face and saying "you're mine and this time, I will do with you what I will, so hang on!" I want to learn and share what I'm learning and hopefully someone out there (maybe a few someones) will stumble upon this, enjoy it, and have some eventual good things to say...Welcome!
