Ready to set the wheels in motion.

Some of you were kind enough to support my first blog a few years ago. That short-lived, 3 posts, birth of a dream was a pivotal moment for me but I realized I was not mentally ready to open the world to my circus. I thank you readers: my mom, my husband and grandpa for reading my three posts and helping me believe that I have a shot. That previous blog was an impromptu, quarantine/lockdown, “I just need to talk to someone other than my dog!” moment, which explains why I didn’t follow through with it.

But now is the time. The real deal. It’s game on.

A lot has changed over the last few years and I’m ready to share my stories with the world. The same stories you probably experience every day and could use an outside perspective to laugh it off instead of take it personally (as I have done many times). Or maybe my posts will become motivation for your life? Your dreams. Your goals. Maybe my posts will give you a little bit more insight in some areas? Maybe you need to read them to feel like you are not alone? Your circus and my circus are one in the same. We are all in this together. So why not support each other instead of compete with one another?

I am not a book worm and I have never been a fan of reading, however this year I set some new goals to expand my knowledge and toughen my hide through books- boy, I did NOT expect what I would turn into! I now wake up at 7 am EVERY morning! For those of you who know me, you know I have NEVER been a morning person! My first child went to bed at 10:30 pm each night as a baby because I didn’t want to wake up early! (Yes I was THAT parent). But now that I am a mother of 2, a homeschooling teacher, a team parent, a monster dog mama and a wife- 7 am seems to be the ONLY time I can squeeze in for myself. And that was another goal I set for myself this year- I matter. MY health matters, MY self-care matters. MY voice matters. This year I began putting myself first (starting at 7 am), and man has it changed my perspective on things! I wake up grateful! I roll with the punches! I try not to sweat the small stuff (but since I just started these changes, I can’t expect to be perfect overnight!)! I am a work in progress but I am deciding to work for the benefit of MYSELF. After all, if something were to happen to me, how would the dogs eat? How would my kids learn? How would my husbands laundry get done? Where would the food in the fridge come from? I know some of you mamas get where I’m coming from. ::wink::

For years I have sat on the side lines and lived under the radar. I have viewed my worth as a supporting actress instead of a leading role. Not any more! So grab your popcorn, your favorite alcoholic beverage (or icee for those in recovery) and grab your seats! This feature presentation is ready to begin!
