New Beginnings

I created my first blog in the summer of 2008 which chronicled a hip injury and treatment and much to my surprise just kind of blew up within a short amount of time. Before I knew it, surgeons from around the world were linking to it as a patient resource because at the time, there was very little information about the particular condition I was suffering from, FAI or Femoral Acetabular Impingement, commonly known as FAI. 

Since then I've used blogging as a way to put my thoughts and experiences on paper. Throughout the years, as my life has changed, so has my writing. My blogs have had different areas of focus, as I've moved through stages of life. Through life as a mother of young children, to now teenagers and through a second marriage also now the step parent to two wonderful adult kids. 

I've transitioned from a singer-songwriter, to corporate America and retuning back to my roots of art making and creative work. 

And with all the changes, I felt it was time to start fresh. 

So, here is the first post. The landing page of where I truly feel I'm meant to be. 

I have a lot to share. My heart is full of stories from the places life has taken me. 

I hope this will be a place of belonging to each reader that visits. I hope my story will be relatable to someone out there who feels alone, confused, frustrated, defeated...that you will be reminded of the beautiful gift of grace that is available to us all. 

Because if it weren't for grace, I certainly wouldn't have this story to share. 

Thank you so much for following along. It means more to me than you know.
