Well Hello There…

It is taking me nearly 5 years to officially start this “project“. Mostly it’s from fear and not feeling super comfortable with being seen. During those five years though, this is always been on my mind—starting the podcast (soon to launch). It seemed like every time I was about to truly start it, some major and what felt like crippling life event happened. Admittedly, I succumb to a long period of grief that was fairly debilitating, but necessary for my growth. I am doing this sort of micro blog, because it’s like dipping a toe into the ocean (not a fan of pools) of putting myself out there, which is terrifying. What scares me more though is looking back at my life and not even trying.

Initially, this all stemmed from ageism, that I started to experience in my early 30s and also what I had witnessed my mother go through as an aging women in a small town in the Midwest. There will be stories on that later (buckle up). Ultimately, what I realized is that this isn’t just about aging, but about surviving and eventually thriving when life gets really tough to the point of almost breaking you, and the funny shit that happens along the way. I’m still working things out in terms of topics/direction and I’m sure these initial post will be total shit, but I’m trying to get better at being okay with just good enough for now. Gotta start somewhere, so here we go…
