Hi there!!!!

Welcome to my new blog!!!!  I am so excited for this new beginning. I have been thinking about a new start for a while, and I have finally decided that there is no time like now. When I started blogging I was going through some of the darkest times of my life. My blog was an anonymous place to share my hurt and pain. I’m pretty sure no one read it, but it helped putting it out there. I have had a journal since the Lisa Frank lock and key was in vogue, so blogging has been a good fit. Once my life started to take a turn I decided to try blogging out of the shadows. I found some other bloggers, asked questions, and even made some friends. I have never been real consistent with posting, but when I do post it brings me great joy. And I finally feel like I am a place in my life where I have things to contribute to the world with my writing. I have some life experience to draw from, and brand new struggles every day.

The new name of my blog is important to me as well. It took me years to decide on what the perfect blog name would be. In the last 8 years I have been on a journey to discover who I am. That may sound cliché, but that is exactly what it has been. It has not always been an easy road, but it has been worth it. And I have actually learned a lot about myself. I have learned that there are a lot of different things that make me who I am. There are the good, bad, and ugly. Every single piece that I have found is necessary to make me uniquely me. I hope that sharing my pieces helps someone else put their pieces in place. I may never say anything profound here, but I hope you stick around and see how it turns out. Maybe we can both learn something together.
