As I wrote this and went back to read what I wrote. I had seen typos, but these typos also had a reason to come to be… There were times where I wrote Reign when I meant to write Resign. And as I looked back, it made me think, that is exactly what this is… a time for me to Resign from what once was, and Reign! A Way for me to Rule over my own life, my own thoughts, make my own way, a time for me to follow my heart, and follow my dreams. A Time for Me to Finally do what is Best for Me!

Who Am I?
I keep asking myself. I spent half of my life as a single mother. Pushing myself to be the strong independent individual that I have always been. My kids have grown and my life seems turned upside down.
I now search to find myself!
