The First Step

Friends and family members have been telling me to blog for ages. I could never figure out why because I see my life as pretty uneventful and full of stress that no one else would really want to hear about. Of course, people also tell me that I am wasting my talents and should do this or that, which I absolutely could-if I believed that I had the talents they were talking about!

Many months ago, I purchased the "Blogging for Dummies" Book. I know, completely lame. Needless to say, it is probably going to end up at Half Price Books, unread and unloved, at least by me. I guess that blogging is somewhat like exercise, eating right, or ripping off a band-aid...it must just be done.

What you will find on this blog will really be "una mezcla," or "a mixture" to quote my favorite high school teacher. Some days I may rant about being the mom of a toddler. For example, my 34.5 month old gave me a big hug today and announced, " I pooped. Can you check it?" Yeah, potty training. Other days may be for sharing funny stories or vegan recipes. I may discuss my quest to regain the body of my twenties which is only missing when I look in the mirror. I may share bits of my many works in progress in terms of writing. I may just beg for your advice. Whatever it is, it will come to me. I hope that what I have to say resonates with you. Find it amusing, find it sad, or just allow it to relieve the tedium of the moment and help you to realize that life can be sweet, it can be stinky, and it can sometimes just BE.

I took my first step, I hope you take yours.

  1. your life is nothing close to uneventful... don't forget your life consists of the lives of your family, friends, memories, experiences, thoughts and dreams.

    I look forward to seeing "reading" your perspective of what life has to offer!!!

    Love ya!
