Hello friends

As I start my journey of becoming a novelist, I am finding that writing is extremely therapeutic and the means to closure that is much needed.  As a mother, aspiring teacher, and exploring dating again, I have many thoughts, and often ideas, that get scattered around in my mind.  Through writing, I am finding that it is much easier to sort through these thoughts and ideas, instead of dwelling on them constantly.  I hope to one day collaborate all of these thoughts and ideas into my first book - a book of myself - an autobiography.

In my book, I plan to write of my childhood; the many adventures, trials, and pink promises.  There are many significant accounts that happened in my childhood that can be recalled when I close my eyes and search my heart.  I feel that those moments are worthy of being shared with an accepting audience.  In those moments, I was being defined and finding my place in the world.

I also plan to talk of my experience of being diagnosed with bipolar disease.  To reach out to those people who suffer with this disease, I hope to help at least one person cope with being diagnosed and living with bipolar diseases.  It is like any other disease; diabetics, epileptics, and any others that one can think of.  The disease effects my brain, but often it has been disillusioned.  I am no psycho.  In fact, I am overly compassionate, passionate, empathetic, and I love learning (everything!).  I value strong relationships, and solid foundations.  Though I have faced my many struggles with my disease, I am definitely not one to let it define me.  My life has and will continue to go on, and nothing will stop me from achieving my dreams.

My book will also share the amazing (and emotionally challenging) journey into motherhood.  I hope to discuss how being a mother, a wounded mother at that, has truly changed my mindset and how it will help me be a better mother, daughter, friend, and future partner.  I have taken a lot of time to reflect on all of my lessons learned and have used those lessons to evaluate myself and who I want to be.  Needless to say, I cannot change the things that I have done, but I can for sure change the things that I will do in the future.  Though life has handed me a number of obstacles, I feel as though these struggles are worthy of being shared with the world.  Through my book I hope to help at least one person find hope through a dark tunnel - to help them see the light.  I am living proof that the light at the end of the tunnel is real; people do not make these things up!

I haven't fully decided how I will manage this blog but I will come up with a certain way to make my posts so that my blogs are consistent for my followers.  This is the place I plan to grow in my writing abilities and find a path for my book!  Check out my blog's name and tell me what you think!
