Ok..... So I guess it's been a couple of months....

And I do apologize.  See, I'm terrible at maintaining consistency in many aspects of my life.  The point of this blog was to create a living and public commitment to my personal growth.

And so I stumble as is my tendency to do.

Which is no matter, because I have forgiven myself.  The same way I forgive myself after I inhale an entire box of mini wheats in a single sitting after being on yet another diet for 5 days.

And I digress.

I didn't post this post because I necessarily wanted to apologize for my absence.  I apologized because apparently I have lost a couple of months and have left my one and only follower hanging (hi mom!!)

This post is to introduce the purpose of my blog.

So now sitting at my kitchen table with half a pot of coffee already drank, and two pieces of gluten free toast eaten (which wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be) I will explain my blog.

Having no particularly remarkable talents, no celebrity and no other necessarily distinguishable accolades to celebrate, I will do what many other bloggers do.  I will write about my ordinary life.

You are now excitedly sitting on the edge of your seat aren't you?

So let me give you my short biography up to this point.  I am 30 years old.  I got married at 24, separated at 25, and officially divorced by 28 - nearly going bankrupt in the process and losing almost everything (including my dog).  My bid to survive that process caused me to move a ridiculous amount of times just to ensure I could keep a roof over my head.  But I survived my the skin of my teeth, and with no shortage of support from my family,

Now at 30, having given up my 20's to learning about life the hard way, I find myself usually unburdened by severe financial constraints and life as a nomad.  I have a wonderful boyfriend who has a son, and two very smelly dogs.

But I feel so completely restless.  For ten years; a decade; one third of my life, I was defined by the turmoil and struggle which kept me trapped like quicksand.  And now I've pulled free and shaken the last few grains of sand from my shoulders.  Now what?

Well, now I'm blessed with the opportunity to redefine who I am as a person.  So, I suppose that is what this blog is about.  Rebuilding.

I have already started, but the horizon is still obscured by a heavy fog.  I'm not very sure where exactly I'm headed yet, but I'm ready.  The difference this time around is that I'm at the helm.  I will steer this thing in my chosen course, and happily enjoying the challenges along the way.

But don't worry.  This blog won't be filled with narcissistic ramblings if I can help it.

What I can't help now is that my home is a mess.  It needs some attention while the BF and his kid are at church.

Have a great day!!!  It's bloody cold out and I'm lucky to be inside and warm.  Stay warm too.
