Guess what I am 40, and I am not ashamed. There is nothing wrong with being forty it has got to be better than my 20’s and 30’s. My 20’s were spent in school and trying to have a baby. My 30’s were spent in school and trying to adopt a baby. I am not sure what I will do in my 40’s since I am done with both school and growing my family. (more…)

This summer I have had a lot of TIME to do not only the things that I need to do but I also have time to do the things I want to do. I don’t have to punch a clock, be in a meeting or get anything done for work. I am not tied to a desk or an office and it is wonderful. (more…)
