I am ME!

I am a woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a best friend, an ex-wife. I am a perfectly complicated human being. Who are YOU?

Hello and welcome to my page. I’ve never done anything like this but I have always thought about it. Thinking has become action and here we are. Thank you for joining me as I am once again filling up my blank canvas with the beautiful colors that are LIFE!

I have just turned 52 (next year I will change this to say I have just turned 53) and am an American, a single mother to a 15-year old daughter, a 14-year old little dog who looks more like a rat, and a big fat cat – we all live in Stuttgart, Germany. I am a big sister to a younger brother and a sister. I am a daughter to a mother and father who love me fiercely and can be annoying as shit – but, hey they are MINE and I love them just as fierce. I am blessed to have best friends who are my “family” in every sense of the word, except blood. We are bonded by love, respect, admiration, and unwavering devotion.

I am a woman.

I have created this blog in the hopes that there are people (men and women) who find themselves at a stage of life where they wonder what is their life all about. I don’t pretend to have all the answers but I do know that it’s sometimes a good thing to know you’re not alone.

We all have questions and we all want answers – but those answers are different for everyone. I’m going to share my thoughts, my views, my dreams, my wins, my losses, even a recipe or two and I hope you do, too.

I am a human being.
