Every week, I send an email to my team and a few others at work. I call these emails my “Friday Check-in” and I have been told they are inspirational. I hope that is true. The emails focus on encouraging my friends to take care of themselves. That is why I am starting this blog – to keep me accountable in caring for myself. To make sure I keep moving forward with the growth I have started. To help me see who I am, who I was meant to be, and figure out where I am going and where I belong.

It really does seem like I should know who I am and where I’m going. I am 47 years old. I am a wife and mother. I am a professional. I have multiple degrees and yet I long for more. Yes more degrees, but other things too. More life and living. More time with my family. More peace. More fun. More laughter. More of the best things in life. So I hope you will join me on this journey as we figure this out together.

This blog will include a lot of different content. Sometimes I will talk about food and nutrition. Sometimes I will talk about exercise. Sometimes I will talk about cleaning and decluttering my house. Sometimes I will talk about my faith. Sometimes I will talk about being a wife and mom. I will try to avoid politics because it is too sensitive a subject. But I will talk about love and loss and hopes and dreams and where I am now and what I am listening to or reading and things that inspire me. Hopefully it will inspire you as well.

Thanks for starting this journey with me.
