Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my thoughts on this big, beautiful life.  I am going to use this as a platform to share my life experiences as I navigate the world and get through the curveballs life throws at me.  Each week I am going to cover a topic of situations I have lived through in my life.  I hope that through sharing these experiences, it may help someone along the way.

Who am I?  I am a wife and mother trying to find my way and career in this complex world while defining who I am in these new(ish) roles.  I stepped back due to the elimination of a job role a year ago and now trying to get back into the swing of the corporate world. I want to show my son that his mother can love him unconditionally and be there for him but also to show him that mommy is more than just mommy, that she works hard with daddy to him give a great life. I am trying to find my passion versus just chasing dreams, something I have never done in my life before.  It is liberating and frightening.

I battle anxiety and depression, have survived PPD.  My childhood was not what you would call magical (at least not the first 10 years) however I did not let that define me.  This drove my grit and made me work hard to prove wrong all the things I was told I couldn't or wouldn't ever do.  Anxiety is a daily battle for me sometimes with it being taken out on the ones I love most. I hope that someday it won't control me and that I will overcome it, but until then I cope and try to handle things the best I can. 

I was an English Literature major with a focus on classics.  My favorite book is a Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemmingway.  Hemmingway is also a favorite author of mine.  I have been branching out on genres thanks to my book club but have an affinity for the classics and always will.

Thanks for going through this journey with me.
