Hi! Welcome to the not so fancy blog. I don't keep it up. I only write when I feel like I have something to say.

A year ago I had incredible intentions. I was going to be something. I was going to do something. I lined up conferences to attend. I enrolled in a new nutritional course. I was reading all the motivational, goal setting, dream accomplishing books. I posted the questions, the motivational quotes and inspirational messages all over my house.  And then my daughter ran away.  And she was gone for two months without contact.  Then we found her and brought her home.  But then we had to send her to live in Tennessee with my in-laws in hopes that we could break the ties she had with some seriously dysfunctional and potentially dangerous people.  And we thought we had.  But not really. Thankfully though she lived far away from them and the only contact they did have was limited.  Then she joined the Army National Guard and left for bootcamp, without us being able to say goodbye because her choices were keeping us from her.  ...
