Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m a single mom in my mid-forties navigating life with the hand I was dealt. I am grateful for the many good things that have come my way, and even the adversity I’ve faced has had some silver linings.
I’ve been writing about various topics for a few years and decided in 2025 that it was finally time to do something with my essays. I’m a private person in terms of what I share publicly, but an open book to those who know me well. I decided to keep this blog anonymous to protect the privacy of anyone I reference in my stories. Also, I’m not that into social media and don’t personally want to be an influencer, but since this is the medium for how so much information is communicated, I can’t totally avoid it.
I believe that my writing can be beneficial to some, and to that end, I’m happy to share what I have to say here and on social media with the intent of it being helpful… even if that just brings someone a smile.
Also, all of the advice and ideas offered here are my own and I have absolutely zero credentials that make me qualified to offer medical or mental health advice. I am a student of life drawing from my own experiences. I am also an enthusiastic consumer of health, wellness, relationship, and personal growth ideas across a plethora of respectable sources so there are some consistent nuggets of wisdom I’ve adopted along the way. But in most cases, I couldn’t begin to go back and cite where I first came across a particular idea.
