This blog is about the journey back to a person I knew myself to be.

When I was introduced to someone one new, I began to share stories about my “boring” past. As I continued to tell stories, she laughed about my constant assertion that my life was simple and normal.

Many of the lessons I’ve learned have come at great cost in emotional, physical, and spiritual trauma.

If anything I share brings a laugh, a groan, or a different perspective on a difficult problem, then the purpose of this blog has surpassed everything I’ve hoped.
