To be honest, it really depends on when you ask me.
Sometimes I’m mom, then my cell phone rings and I’m boss or employee, then hubs will need to know where his socks are and I switch gears and become wife.
On more rare occasions, I get to be daughter and take a break from responsibility, but I never get to be sister because I’m an only child.
I drink wine (by the box) to maintain my sanity and keep to my budget. White, not red. Red is MUCH too healthy to pass my “this can’t be good for me or it won’t be fun” meter.
I’m loyal to a fault and a very good friend, but am an Introvert so you’ll have to make the first move. Unless it’s via the Internet then I’m a social butterfly!
When I was growing up, I thought I would discover the cure for cancer, work with disadvantaged children in Africa, be President of the United States, NEVER wear pink, and would ride horses every day.
Now I am happy to make it through a staff meeting at a company of 50, haven’t been on a horse in a decade, and think finding the cure for whining would be nearly as good as the cure for cancer. Plus, I have a few pink items in my closet. Wow, have times changed!
I have a few insights to share and conversations I’d like to explore. I love throwing ideas out there and then seeing where the conversation goes. Disagreeing with me is fantastic and encouraged. I, by no means, have all the answers – anyone that tells you they do is lying. But I do have some good tips and tricks from my years and breadth of experience that I’d like to share with you and some thoughts I’d like your opinions about.
For me, life is not a series of black and white, right and wrong decisions. It is stumbling through the gray, reveling in your moments of triumph and picking yourself up after defeats. It is holding your chin high, always believing in yourself, and living your life the best way you know how. I will not say here’s my opinion and IT is RIGHT! Never. I fully believe there are many truths and it’s up to you to have enough confidence in yourself to decide which truth fits you best. I merely hope to provide some things to think and talk about.
