My Why???

So I wanted to pop on here and tell you a little about "why" I wanted to blog.

First, I feel I need to give you a little history.  For the audience that remembers My Space on that platform I was journaling about my weight loss surgery process, both the before and after.  When My Space was on the way out , I started a blog and moved all those posted over the Blogger.  That led me to just started blogging about my life.  I was hit or miss and in the process I moved....  well I lost access to that blog due to changing email addresses and not being able to recover it.  Why am I telling you this... basically to say I have been interested in this blogging thing since about 2006.

Fast-forward to the Fall 2018, My friend Katie was talking to me at our annual cross stitch retreat that I should really start blogging again.  The funny thing is that for about the last year I had been thinking about starting a Podcast because I wanted to reach out to young teenagers and women to empower them to be their best selves.

My reason for this is really that I feel like I have been through different chapters of my life and I felt that I could maybe help...  I have been morbidly obese, loss best friends in my 20s to death and murder, a single mother, a blended family, and now unfortunately I have experienced the loss of  my mother/best friend.  I feel if I can help anyone then maybe this is my purpose.

I am always working on self-improvement and self-discovery.  I am continue learning different things (this as an example).  But mostly I just try to live a positive life and hope that this rubs off on others around me. 

SO you may ask what are you going to find on here.....  to be honest, it will vary.  I am going to be posting about my hobbies (cross stitching and reading), my life interest of helping others when that pops up, and random stuff because that is me to a "T"
