Here I am.

I've been craving a space for a creative outlet for some time where I can express my thoughts and hopefully have others engage in the conversation. My goal here is to be my authentic self, meaning, I am going to do my best not write what I think others might want to read about. My intention is to write my own thoughts as they come to me in a very honest and open way.

I am a married 32-year-old woman living in 2024. I am a mom of two young children. I am inquisitive and feel like I am always thinking. My hope here is that other women from any and all backgrounds will join in the conversation about topics that I write here. I am interested in a wide array of topics and do not want to limit myself to just one. So, this blog is like a physical representation of my brain! I am hoping that getting my thoughts out on here will help me to feel less lonely in my own head. I fully expect to embarrass myself a time or two, but that's okay. I remember back in 2017 when I was trying to create a blog with the intent of being an influencer.... lol. There is nothing wrong with being an influencer if that is your jam , but there was absolutely nothing remarkable about my life at that time that people could possibly be influenced by. I didn't know who I was, was living at home with my parents, and had limited life experience. Since then I've moved 4 states away with just my dog, got married, moved to Hawaii, moved to New Hampshire, had a baby, moved to South Carolina, had another baby. It feels like a whirlwind of happy, sad, blissful, and very difficult times. I just feel like since 2017, I have lived a lot more life and have more to contribute conversations than I did when I was 25 (although I thought I knew a lot).

Lately I have been discovering new things that interest me, inspire me, make me think about life, make me feel sad, and make me feel happy. I sincerely hope that when I dump those thoughts here, other women will comment and express their own input or send me a personal message to continue the conversation. Okay so I hope my goals and intentions for this blog are clear. Let's see how this goes! I can't wait to hear from you <3
