After 42 years, I am at a point in my life where I am taking some time for ME. I have devoted myself to many different things in my life over the years, all with passion and wide-eyed innocence. Much of my life has been challenging, but never disappointing. I have learned that everything happens for a reason...such a cliche, I know, but once you hit your forties, it seems like all the cliches are starting to make sense!
I just cleared a major hurdle in my life. Running a business alone after my ex ran off with his high school girlfriend whom he slinked around and found on Facebook and then found out that he fathered a child with this person when he was 15. What do I have to say about that? Well, there's another cliche for you! And thank GOD that filthy hurdle is behind me and I had the tenacity to kick some dirt onto it as I dug my foot into the ground and pushed off. See ya!
So, for the last few months, I have been trying to find myself. YES, another cliche!
Stay tuned. I have decided to tap into my writing talents, which I left behind years ago, but always missed. I'm sure you will enjoy, be aggravated, sometimes maybe even cry. But, it is often good for the soul to put yourself in someone else's shoes for a while (and that makes four cliches!). Hehe.
I end my first blog with a quote that brings me comfort when I am pulling my hair out in frustration:
"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable." --Helen Keller
