Let Me Introduce Myself...

Hello! My name is Beth and I am a mother to two beautiful children, Bri 17 and Taylor 16. I am finding myself suddenly in a position that many Mom's before me have been but a place I never imagined myself to be! I guess I tricked myself into believing that I would always be the "cool" mom and that somehow my children would forever remain under my wing. Don't get me wrong, I would never choose to hold them back or clip their wings. I want them to soar as high as they can fly and be everything they have ever imagined they would be!


The real tragedy here is that I, like many other moms have forgotten who I am and what I want to be and now that the inevitable is bearing down on me and catching up very quickly I find myself at a crossroads so to speak and no idea which path I am supposed to take. I guess some would say I am having a "mid" life crisis! I turned 40 this year, my daughter is a senior in high school and my son is a junior. Wow! I have been a stay-at-home mom to them for the past 12 years and that was my full time job. A job that I looked forward to going to every single morning, day and night. And now, all of a sudden I am realizing that I am having to start a new career, a new life so to speak and I really have no clue how to do that! I am a 40 year old woman and essentially I am starting my life completely over again!


So, the purpose of this post is just a beginning. A place to start so that when I get a little further down the road in my journey I will have a place to look back to and be able to say, "look how far I've come..........". My goal is to put one foot in front of the other, one letter in front of the other and figure this out as I go! I am excited to be able to share this amazing journey and rediscovery of life with you each step of the way! Maybe you will be able to provide me with some excellent words of wisdom and maybe I will be able to reach a hand out to a fellow parent going through what I have been through. Either way, I am excited to be here today and I look forward to sharing my daily dose of reality with you!


Stay tuned until tomorrow!

Beth
