Strong and Scared, You Can be Both

What’s this? A blog post within days of each other?  It’s been a long two days so I thought I’d share. You know this is basically my journal and journaling can be like therapy for me, so here I am. Just so you know, this does have a happy ending but these two days were scary. You can be strong and scared at the same time. I’m learning. I recently found a lump in my breast. Ugh.

All things Fall really can not some soon enough for me.  Here are a few highlights of whats going on in life right now. The Blog I have wanted to update the look of the blog for sometime now. I finally met with a Blog Consultant? Thats what I’ll call her anyhow. She does free lance work outside of her regular job making websites and blogs look their best. I have a few ideas and together we will come up with a new look. Also, I’m hoping that will encourage me to come up with a regular blogging schedule. I’ll never have time to do a daily post like I did for so many years, but committing to once a week is something I’d like […]
