I may not be perfect, but I do have much to say and share with others. I have survived many experiences and desire to offer support to others who have lived through much of the same.


I am now over 60 years old, and I realize I have missed so many opportunities in the past six decades because I was too terrified to step outside my comfort zone.

I decided 2024 would be my year to take one huge step into the uncertain blogging world and push myself into the unknown.

I have never felt I was good enough, so trying something new was just not in me.

Too many people in my life blamed me for everything that was wrong in the world, and I believed them. I was broken and of no value in their minds and in mine.

However, on New Year’s Eve, I decided enough was enough!!! That is when I took step one on my blogging journey.
