The Next Chapter

A whole life, two actually, has happened since I last wrote. When I last wrote I was single, in my wee 30’s, with no kids. I’ve blinked, and somehow I am in my late 30’s, have two darling boys, a handsome hubby, and all the other things that go with my version of growing older.

I’ve looked back over the blog and was filled with joyful remembrance of all the fun I have had. Life has no doubt been….well, very traumatic, but Lord, it has also been fun. This blog reminded me that despite the hardships, I am blessed! Deeply blessed.

I’m going to attempt** key word here, to blog more. And seeing as I have perhaps only a handful of followers, I am doing it for me. This will be my gratitude blog. I’ve been reminded that when you are focusing on gratitude, you can’t actually be anxious. So, off we go, onto a gratitude journey!

Also, I started a home bakery. Baking for people brings me deep joy. Baking is my hobby, my love, my passion, and this is my attempt at believing in myself. I deeply lack confidence in all areas of my life, AND, I know that I can bake good things. My prayer is there is healing in this sweet hobby of mine, with the added bonus of treats for my friends.

God is good friends. God is GOOD.

Have you ever…?

 …just packed up and left? Realized where you are at this moment is maybe not where you’re supposed to be.  

Have you ever…
Had the feeling that “this can’t be it”.  This can’t be my life for the next 40 years…

Have you ever…
Taken a risk, left it all and hoped for the best?  Knowing it may be a challenge, a struggle, but oh so worth it?

If so, I’d love to hear about it. I’d love to hear how you got the courage, the strength, and just left.  
Lately I’ve been day dreaming of moving to another country, starting life over, simplifying everything… It sounds like a dream. Perhaps temporary until the real world sucks me back and forces me into a career …  But I feel like it’s an adventure I need to indulge in before real life happens.

God is good friends. God is good.
