Time For A Change

Something felt off. Out of place. Unsettling.

It just didn’t feel right.

I would sit down to write, words swirling in my head, thoughts racing by, but I just couldn’t do it.

It didn’t fit.

I took a step back and let life sink in.

There is more that I want to be doing.

More topics that I want to write about.

More experiences that I want to share.

So, I decided. It was time.

I had to shed my skin and start fresh.

I needed a new name.

With new limits, new goals, and new hopes.

A new home.

I had Mama’s Monologues for almost two years.

I learned a lot in that space.

I poured my heart out, took chances, and revealed secrets.

It was my teacher, showing me where I wanted to go and how far I could push myself.

I made connections, with real friendships, in that space.

But, it was time to grow.

I needed to go further.

So I did it.

And this? This feels right.

This is my place.

My place to grow and learn and share.

My place to record and dream and hope and keep memories.

And now, it’s time.

I need to spread my wings and learn to fly.

This is a huge change for me.

I took a chance.

But, I know that this is what I needed to do.

It feels right.

With a new name and new direction, I also started a new Facebook Page. Please go “like” me over there to stay updated!

*Huge thanks to the wonderful Vanita for being so amazing with helping me make this move!

I am a busy mom of four, trying to keep my head above water as I swim through the sea of testosterone that has taken over our house. I'm a coffee addict and book lover. My family is everything to me and I often write about my journey through motherhood. This blog captures those special moments in life. This life isn’t easy. It’s not always full of sunshine and rainbows. It’s hard. It’s a struggle. But it’s MY life. Welcome to it. Don't want to miss a post? Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed.
