Collection of Thoughts

I thought I was prepared for motherhood, but no amount of reading, research or intuition readied me for this journey. I have spent the last year and a half blazing new trail in my life experiences and it has not always been the love fest that I imagined it would be, but I am happy to be here now, and my son is helping me to be the fuller person that I imagine I might be. I now know what true, everlasting love really is and can appreciate the love my parents had for me. 

When I became a parent, I believe that something shifted inside me. I have stronger resolve to make a difference in the world, and I am becoming more vocal (although I am not sure a blog is really 'vocal') and trying to impart my opinions in a more educated and less emotional way. As a parent, I have new interests and have become more eager to save the planet to preserve for my son and growing family. Using written word, I feel I might better be able to communicate my thoughts with the world, as I will have time to think and not stumble over my words. I hope to make you think, make you talk about what you think, and maybe help start a snowball of change to make this world a better place.

People will learn new things: a few facts, a few bits of trivia, but mostly things even close friends don't know about me. Stay tuned. I have a lot to say.
