Little ol’ me

Honestly not sure what to write about myself, if that doesn’t explain why I started this blog, hm?

I guess I’ll start with where I’ve been,

and let you in on my idea of where I might be going…

I was born outside Nashville, Tn, and grew up all around in different cities. Came from a single parent household, didn’t have much but didn’t know I needed anything.

My mother was damn good at making sure I had every opportunity in life.

In 2004, my life shattered. Into a million pieces. And since then, I’ve been putting them together crafting who I am and the life I’m looking to live. Some of my writings will cover this in more detail but you can find more here..Justice for Jennifer and Adrianna Wix

I’d consider myself just a normal girl, growing up and living a normal life… finishing school, making friends….ish, going to college and of course that led me to where I am now.

I met my husband in 2009, and this year we’ll celebrate 9 years of marriage… nitty, gritty, blissful marriage. We brought two of the most crazy perfect children into the world, Harper in 2016 and Henley in 2018. Being their mom gives me the greatest purpose in life; it truly does.

The most that I can tell you about me personally is that I’ve spent the majority of my life planning it, not taking many risks, and just really trying my best. I like safe.

Secure.

The job that makes the most money and costs the least amount, least amount of risk.

I like to stay home, plenty to do there. No need to go out to find more things to do.

Think through everything,

every. possible. outcome.

then act. If at all.

So it may come as a shock that in 2019, I started a direct marketing, MLM ‘side hustle’. I’d never done anything like it.

It took off.

Phew, all is well, took a risk but I’m safe.

Starting that side hustle did something to me. Not only did it give me stability, but it gave me options and freedom, and continues to do so.

I started to pour into myself.

Learn, and try new things. On social media, leadership, public speaking… creating.

And quite simply I fell in love.

I was balancing a career, mom and wife life, and now a side thing… 4 years later, and I’m needing something and feeling like, a pull.

A pull to make changes. Take chances. Stop being who you THINK you were supposed to be, and just do whatever the fuck you want (oops. Did I mention, that’s just who I am, I cuss).

.

So, currently, without any idea of where exactly I’m going, I’m simply going.

One little thing a day. Doing things that make me happy.

Spending time with my girls, and my best friend.. my husband. Maybe getting my hands a little dirty, planting some things. Organizing some things and making life a little more visually stress-free.

Hell, I’m pretty sure I’m about to build or buy a greenhouse. DREAM UNLOCKED.

I’m gonna write for y’all and share some thoughts…

I’m gonna start teaching myself to refinish furniture and maybe eventually get into bigger projects, and…

I’m gonna do what everyone says they’re jealous of me for because my husband documents so much of our life and our moments…

I’m going to simply start taking pictures. For other people.

With the hope that I can give them something that they’d never remember years from now, try as they might in the moment.

There you have it.

Just normal me.
