If you’ve been in my life for any length of time, you’re likely well aware of my desire to share my story. My life, my journey, my thoughts, my failures and even my successes. I consider myself to be a very real and authentic person.

My blogging journey began probably 15 years ago, maybe 20, because my goodness does time fly; and yet I have nothing to show for it. I feel like I’m a fairly smart gal, and yet the constant technology changes within blogging formats makes me want to pull my hair out. An old domain I had was sold out from under me (to briefly explain, I was on auto renew, and for some reason, after 8-10 years, it did not auto renew, and instead of offering a redemption or grace period, my domain was sold…just.like.that 🙁 and now its on the market for like 10 grand…..uh, no thanks)

Anyway, luckily I had another domain (Via a much better hosting agent) pointing to the same blog, so I didn’t lose any content; until recently. When I decided to stop renewing a few domains (I tend to “Collect” domains…lol) So, as you can likely guess where this is going, when I didn’t renew the other domain, I somehow lost my entire blog. Now….this domain DID have a grace period for redemption, but since I intentionally allowed it to lapse, I didn’t bother following up on it. completely forgetting that my entire blog of thoughts and rants were kept there 🙁

Now you might ask…how? Well, because foolish me never backed it up. There are plug-ins and everything to make that task seamless….and yet here I am, with years of documented thoughts. gone. forever! I shed many tears that day. I almost refused to start over. But I can’t shake my love for writing. My desire to share here.

Shared thoughts roll through my mind all day, everyday. Sometimes, I’ve got my life together enough to jot them somewhere, but most of the time, they get archived in the back of my brain where they will likely never express themselves in their truest form. And I feel as if a piece my my creative writing soul dies with each empty entry.

So here I am; trying to rebuild from the scratch in my mind.
So, pour a cup of coffee (or tea) and join me if you’d like. It’s a quiet space, so you may want to sign up to be notified when I post new thoughts.
