Welcome!

Welcome! So I've decided to start a blog. I used to keep an online journal on a website called CaringBridge. For nearly two years I wrote about my son Carter, and his battle with Neuroblastoma. I enjoyed sharing about his journey, and found writing to be therapeutic during that very difficult time in my life. It' been over three years now since my son passed away. And over three years since I've written in that journal regularly. During those first few years of grieving, the fog of sorrow was thick, and I found it difficult to write clearly. I also found it difficult to share openly about my grief. And so, I took a break from writing.

I've recently had the itch to write again. Over the past couple of months I've read some interesting articles and had some deep conversations that have been very thought provoking. A number of times I've wanted to write about my thoughts, but did not have a blog to do so. Thus, the birth of this blog! :)

My desire with this blog is to write about topics that peak my interest (and hopefully yours!), as well as share about my life experiences as a mother, wife, and follower of Jesus Christ.

Back when I used to write my CaringBridge journal, my husband, my mother and my mother-in-law would often tell me that I was a talented writer. And if those three unbiased people think I'm a good writer, I must be, right? ;) I know I'll have at least three loyal readers, and if they are right, maybe even a few more. :)
