Why this blog?

​Why this blog? It's been a long time coming. I have been wanting to do this for such along time. Why have I been apprehensive? Well, because I want it to be honest, real and helpful. I have been on this journey for the last 3  years. It has been a step by step process that has helped me and my 2 kids. As a single parent, not by choice (I may or may not explain this later in a separate post). This journey has been difficult and rewarding. There are so many parts to this journey, I am not quite sure where to begin. I hope that as I continue to blog I can tell and recall as much as I can so I  may inspire and encourage you to take the little steps that led me to bigger steps. I don’t want you to compare yourself to me but to see that changes can be made. Although, they may seem impossible at some point, that one day you will look in the mirror and say “Dam, I did it or I am doing it. Yes, I have done that and cried, I have looked in that mirror so many times and been amazed at how far I have gotten. Because if you want to get anywhere in life you need to do it yourself, don’t wait for others to do for you. That’s just unrealistic and honestly you will be waiting along time. Ultimately, you're the one that needs to do for you what needs to be done. End of story!
