Now what? All I know about blogs is what I've seen in the movie about Julia Childs.
Except, I'm not writing a book about cooking through all of Julia Childs' recipes. I'm writing in an effort to preserve my own sanity and get my life back.
I have 2 daughters, a beautiful 13 year old girl who own her world, is more worldly than her years and has about the same amount as listening and focusing skills as her 3 year old sister who is also beautiful but very trying because she NEVER wants to sleep. I therefore find myself struggling to get enough sleep.
But I guess I should do more of me huh?
So many life stories... sort of came into my own when I was 19 and working in 1989 on the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Clean-Up and as an "ort," oil recovery technician. I lost all of that childhood crap of lack of self confidence and fear and suddenly found myself surrounded by people I never would have befriended outside of the spill, had pockets full of money and most of all, had FUN. It was the time of my life. Sad... now I'm 42 and the time of my life was over 20 years ago. There have been good and bad inbetween but right now I am going through a HUGE transition in life and people keep telling me WRITE WRITE WRITE. You need to write Leisl. So here I am, writing. And hopefully opening up this whole new world for myself because I NEED to open up a whole new world for myself. And what better way than to do it this way? Blog-o-rama style. Except before I can REALLY get going my 3 year old is FINALLY ready for some snuggling... she's been sick since last night so getting her to bed has been twice as hard as normal. I need to embrace the moment as it presents itself. But you can bet I'll be back. Maybe somehow, somewhere, in this process, I will receive the healing I need and the ability to move forward in my life... cause time is running out. SO many stories to share though so get ready... cause they are COMING.
