It started here 10 1/2 years ago. I had big dreams and plans of a nearly perfect life with nearly perfect kids (5 or so) with a nearly perfect home and nearly enough time to do all the things that bring me joy. But here I am 10 1/2 years later with a much different journey. A journey that is a lot harder than I thought that it would be. Some days it's so worth it, others I struggle to find the optimism. I thought that maybe putting it out there-all of it, the good with the bad- would help to make this climb more successful. So whether any one else sees this or not, it's me and that's all that I have to offer.
