We have clearly established that I may or may not lie about my name sometimes. The funniest was the time that my hubby and I went to a boat show and the salesperson was trying to establish a rapport through repeated use of my non-name. Sufficed to say, we didn’t buy a boat.
Someone asked me recently, ‘what do you do?’ and I was able to say without even an inkling of self-doubt or insecurity that “I take care of my home and family.” This is HUGE! There is no longer an inner compulsion to justify my existence with an itemized, alphabetized list of my accomplishments, degree, or pedigree. Progress. Growth. Peace.
I am a 40 + Canadian gal who feels like I have lived many lives. My current life consists of raising 4 foster babies ages 4 and under. It is crazy. It is hard. And it is so very good. In my spare time (insert laugh here) I am multi certified/licensed as a fitness instructor and working on more. Mid life crisis much?
I often find myself in a place where within the messy chapters of my life (Depression is part of this makeup of mine), I occasionally find my voice and feel compelled to share. This may only be because I am more extroverted than not more so than because I have something life altering to convey.
I hope to openly and vulnerably share my life with a huge dose of humour and maybe a pinch of sarcasm.
The underlying premise of everything I put forth is my faith which is grounded in love, hope, forgiveness, and grace.
