A Thank You to my Readers

For those who have followed and read my blogs throughout the years, I want to send over a warm thank you. Your comments, readership, and companionship has both inspired me and helped me during times when I needed it most. For those who never commented, but read I appreciate you taking time out of your day to read my blogs. I realize in the many years I've blogged I have not yet reached out to my readers and said thanks.

I realize the last few years I have not been posting as much on my blog. However, I want to change that. My blog is my sanctuary. Written word is an art and craft that I have been blessed with. In life, sometimes we can become lost. Not sure of our true purpose or potential. I have suffered from a tremendous amount of loss at a young age, losing my mother and my older brother. However, I still managed to accomplish more than I give myself credit for.

I'm sure many can relate, but often we are our own worst enemies. We consistently put ourselves down, saying that we "aren't capable". I've done this throughout my life, even before all of the trauma suffered. However, I'm finding that I must give myself credit where credit is due. I am *fingers crossed* approaching the end of my dissertation. I have secured a position that I am in love with in a town that I have grown to love. I have a husband who loves me with all of his heart. I fulfilled a dream by getting a hedgehog. He's pictured below. Many good things have happened for me, but I have been blinded by own darkness.

My goal is to live healthier, happier, and more simple. In addition to some lifestyle changes I will be going through I am also hoping, once the dissertation is complete, that I am able to write my own book. Of course, I'll let each of you know if, scratch that WHEN, it happens. This blog was really meant to just reach out to each of you, and let you know I am thinking of you. When all seems hopelessly optimistic I want you to know you can comment on here and talk to me. I'm only a comment away. Thanks again and looking forward to posting more in the future. 

xoxo
