SO WHY AM I BLOGGING....
It only seemed appropriate that my first post on my blog tell you WHY...what would be my inspiration to start a blog? There really is no inspiration. I just love to write and figured why not share some of my journey, experiences, and lessons learned with whoever is willing to listen.
I have started a blog twice before and it just was not the right time. Then I started a magazine with a friend and that adventure just did not turn out as anticipated.
My journey has been a long one full of many highs and lows...starting back in my early 20's. However, as I look back and think about it I could not change a situation or a person that was part of that. Without all of the situations and people (good and bad), I would not be HERE!!!
HERE is a place of clarity, happiness and acceptance. HERE is where I decided sometime ago that I had to just "LET GO AND LET GOD". I know so cliche...but it works for me.
I will be blogging about just about anything. Nothing will be off limits - however names might be changed to protect the idiots...sorry that is my silly humor.
I will never claim to be an expert on anything, unless it is changing diapers...THAT I AM AN EXPERT ON!!! I have been changing diapers non-stop since 2004 and I am not seeing the light at the end of that tunnel.
Oh wait, I am also an expert on ELMO and his strange little friends, Mr. Noodle, his brother Mr. Noodle and their sister Miss Noodle. Oh...how can I forget Dorothy his goldfish. Seriously who thinks of this stuff. Why couldn't I come up with ELMO?
Special Needs has become something I know a little bit about, not voluntarily. I spent the greater part of my daughter's life pissed off and asking why. So...I decided who cares if she has Cerebral Palsy. I stopped feeling sorry for myself and stopped crying about her diagnosis. I took my energy and decided to use it to spread Cerebral Palsy Awareness and to promote that my daughter has a purpose in life....Samantha's Purpose.
Of all the lessons I have learned in my life...and there is a long list of them...when people are talking bad about you just say to yourself "Wow, I have myself a Fan Club." Remember this....GREAT PEOPLE talk about ideas, AVERAGE PEOPLE talk about things, SMALL PEOPLE talk about other people.
Point. Period. The End.
P.S. Can you use a P.S. in a blog?? This is going to be so much fun for ME!!!
