Life never turns out how you want it to, but that's not always a bad thing. If you would have asked me 10 years ago where I'd be today, I would have said something like.....
I will be happily married, have 2 or 3 kids, coaching figure skating, becoming a bigger & better artist, Probably co-pastoring a church with my husband, living in Daytona Beach (where I'm from) ....
But as it turns out, I AM happily married with 1 child, a Stay at home mom, I've become a seamstress and I'm not involved in ministry anymore, at least for the foreseeable future and we moved to the Carolina's. There are No ice rinks around here, so that is on hold until someone decides to build one!
Some days are easier than others.... some days are harder than others. Considering all that has happened in the past 10 years, I would have never seen it coming, but it has made me stronger. No, I would not go back and do it again... there's no possibility of being able to, so why want to?
Do I miss how things were? I don't know. I do miss coaching and being on the ice.... as of right now, I'm Not missing ministry. I guess that's what happens when you get severely hurt by someone. Even though I have 1 child, he is more than enough for me.... for us. He keeps us on our toes and I love him dearly. Now that I sew & make jewelry, it's opened doors for me that I would have never thought would have opened in a million years. Now I sell some of my items on eBay and they've gone all over the world; I have become a Comic Con vendor, although I am currently only doing 1 Con a year because of personal reasons.
Along the way, I've met lots of interesting characters and am still friends with some of them. Others... we've just lost touch over the years.
It's amazing to look back to so many years ago and see how much you've changed, grown & Matured.
Here you will find thoughts, ramblings, rants, and an overall a look into the mind of a Stay At Home Mom who holds her world together with a little Craziness to keep the Sanity!
