Welcome Inside My Head

As a mother of three I don't get a lot of self- development time. The time that I do have, often I am too tired, worn out, brain-fried to even think about thinking. My husband started noticing this augment with each child born, and encouraged me to do something for myself- develop a talent, go see something that interested me, stimulate my brain. I've always retorted back, with what money, free time, and brain power, am I suppose to accomplish this with? And honestly, up until now, I don't think I could have. It takes a lot of adjusting to manage a family of 3 little girls (and one daddy), and it has taken me about 6 years to figure it out. But I think now I know what I would like to do with myself.

I can write- I'm not trying to be boastful, but I like to string words together, and I have been told that I do it well. I want develop that talent. (Check 1 for Kaylon's checklist.) I also like to read and study topics that interest me. Topics that interest me right now are politics and religion. (Check 2.) So why not stimulate my brain at least once a week by studying a topic of my choice, writing about it, and declaring my opinion to the world on this blog? This will also educate me for day to day discussions, reduce confusion from conflicting stories from media and competing parties, and serve as a way to get me out of my shell. (Check 3! Oh, Kaylon is going to be so happy with me!)

I need to note that my perceptions are first based on one premise- that God lives. I won't waste my words trying to prove this- if you need logic, I defer to C.S. Lewis and his explanation. For me it is simply a peace withing my soul and repeated evidence of a Higher Hand guiding my life. Not that my life is perfect, just that He has demonstrated time after time that He is there for me. Just know that all my views start there and that one premise will never change.

So here's my blog. My opinions. You don't have to agree with me, but if you choose to respond to any posts, I ask for civility. I promise the same. Maybe we can educate each other.
