Does this sound like you……?? “Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than a master of one.” ~William Shakespeare The quote above is sometimes taken as criticism, but when the quote is considered in its entirety…..it can actually take on an entirely different meaning. For example, a person who has learned many different skills has that much more of an opportunity to share their various experiences to help others.  I have many years of experience doing numerous jobs and am confident I have become extremely knowledgeable about a multitude of topics. Just living life and solving daily problems presents the opportunity for some people to open their minds to learning so many different trades…which in turn can be an asset to younger, less experienced people who aren’t as far along in their journey. As a result, I want to share with you all about my life and experiences that have led me to the realization that writing a blog will not only satisfy my craving to create…. but in the process,I hope to support those of you out there who are still wandering through your life not realizing what you want or need in your journey to happiness or contentment. I have always (well as far back as I can remember) struggled with having enough confidence to take the leap and figure out what would or could make me content. I have had multiple ideas and have gone down those paths, but to no avail, have not continued the path because something just felt off for some reason or another. My experiences in life have been very diverse, as I have held quite a few different jobs, earned a Master’s Degree, gotten married, had two boys, and am now running two businesses and have a part-time job on the side. I feel as though my daily life is just a means to an end to get to the next day off so I can enjoy doing something for myself that I truly enjoy. Living a life without any presence of self-care is definitely not a healthy way to live your life. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a wife and mother to my husband and children, but sometimes I feel as though I am only here going through all the motions to take care of everyone else around me.   So…after many years of craving something creative .... I have decided to write a blog to help others with everyday topics, such as easy recipes, DIY renovations, interior design/decor, and possibly sprinkle in a little home organization help. I want to be of assistance to people to help them reach their goals with some guidance through my experience with all the different topics I have learned from wearing all these hats for so long. I have to say I have gotten really good at cooking, baking, cleaning, planning, designing, parenting, and working over the years.I am happily a wife and mother first…but I am also a business owner and employee. So, I am constantly feeling the pressure of reaching deadlines, paying bills, planning meals, keeping up with laundry, dishes, and tracking finances. I know what you’re thinking…..but that’s just a normal part of life. Yes, it is but it doesn’t have to be all that life is composed of. Life should be enjoyable and relaxing at times, not just the day in day out repetitive cycle of work and everything else that has to be done. There should be those special times we look forward to also. Have you ever had the feeling that there was just something out there that you needed to do….but couldn’t quite pinpoint exactly what that “something” was? I have felt like there was something missing in my life that I was desperate to discover. I have struggled with finding that one aspect of my life that I wasn’t quite content with…until now. So if any of this sounds like you at some time or another….please follow along with me and maybe there will be some common ground for us to meet on and help each other in the process.
