This is my place for EVERYTHING.

“Organization doesn't really accomplish anything. Plans don't accomplish anything, either. Theories of management don't much matter. Endeavors succeed or fail because of the people involved. Only by attracting the best people will you accomplish great deeds.” - Colin Powell

"We can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them, or build with them." - William Arthur Ward

The path you walk, the choices you make, all of this is up to you. "Create the life you imagine." - My coffee mug.

Life is crazy.

It's unpredictable, unexpected, overwhelming, beautiful, insane, chaotic, awe-inspiring, amazing, and fascinating.

Just like many other people, I have a LOT of ambitions, a LOT of things to do, and a big family.

I think my favorite part is the big family, although the ambition is pretty awesome, too.

So before you click onto the other pages, here are a few very personal tidbits that I feel are important to know before continuing to read... not because they define me, but because these particular things have been lessons or are very important to me.

I'm a domestic violence survivor. Leaving was the best and most difficult thing I ever had to do.

I'm an author. I love to write.

I'm a giver. Other people usually come before I do... and this may sound gross, but I only shower about 2-3 times a week because of this. Kids. *lol*

Knowledge is priceless.

Friends are only as good as their loyalty and availability. You can be the best friend in the world... but when you need someone, who is there for you? It may not be the people you think it would be.

Life is messy. Enjoy it.

I love my kids... but I love me, too. I realize that, from time to time, I need some me time.

Bubble baths are the best.

Coffee is amazing.

Public schools start waaaaaay too early! This girl is so NOT a morning person....
