How is it that I haven’t blogged in a dog’s age? Oh wait, I up and changed jobs, took on more responsibility and in turn totally sent my schedule into a tailspin. Days off changed and became less, the need to be more accessible to staff increased, and any free time I’d been hoping for when the kids returned to school vanished. Factor in the kids’ busy schedules with sports and social activities, my husband’s work schedule and I might as well pencil time in to pee and brush my teeth.
Yet at this very moment, I found a precious few minutes that I have claimed for myself. A few minutes in which I’m indulging my blogging passion and throwing down my thoughts onto this page. A quick reflection, a pause, a breath – all to regroup so as to tackle what lies ahead. I have so much to share, new and relatable material generated by the everyday parental battles that take place in my household. I am optimistic, hopeful, and anxious to blog once again. It’s good to be back…..

I am a mom to three awesome kids. They are my pride and joy, even when they manage to push my sanity to and often over the proverbial edge. They are my greatest achievements and I love watching them grow and come into their own selves. While I am married, ours is a blended family which is not without its challenges and stressors. It's that whole yours, mine and ours concept... A few years ago I went back to work full-time as a nurse. I love what I do, and I would like to think that after all this time I am very good at my job. Connecting with people at their most vulnerable and helping them heal, brings me a sense of purpose and gives meaning to what I do.
I secretly have always had a passion for writing. When I started this blog I did so as a way to be able to express myself through my words; and hopefully inspire others through my life experiences as both a mom and a nurse. To be able to adequately convey just the right amount of my life experience, mixed with a little bit of humor, some impassioned views, some heartfelt emotion, and of course lessons learned, and in turn inspire others would be an awesome experience and privilege.
Making sense out of chaos, finding silence amongst the noise, and locating solace during turmoil....its my blog that I am hoping will be my beacon and offer me light on my path.
