What is life all about?

That old saying that “life is complicated” can be such a cliché, I think. But then you look at life happening around you and it doesn’t seem so much anymore. Life really isn’t complicated – it’s a series of twists and turns, events with a beginning and an end. We, as the intricately twisted human beings that we are, make life complicated.

We go through our individual existence thinking we have to believe a certain way, have certain things, conduct ourselves a certain way, maintain an existence that we think is how things are supposed to be. We each have our own idea of what life should be all about; the reality, however, is that life is what we make of it as individuals. Sure, you can follow in your parental footsteps and do what your father or your mother did….or better yet, let them choose your path! But why? Are YOU living YOUR life or allowing them to reinvent themselves through YOU?

This is a blog about life. Life as a woman, life as the mother of a teenager, life as a divorcee in her 50’s, discovering the dating world again, learning how to get to know yourself all over again – really, it’s a blog about life as the blank canvas that we all are.

I am just a woman trying to figure her way through life as a single parent, a woman, a daughter, a sister - a human being. Have patience - I am a masterpiece in progress.
