My 38th Year: The Untamed Life Starts Now

It is with very little thought and zero planning that I publish my very first blog entry!

Well, to be entirely accurate and honest, the very first blog entry of my SECOND attempt. My first attempt quickly fizzled out after I gave into the pressure that I had placed on being perfect. Well, that and a lack of confidence.

I woke up Friday, my first day as a 38 year old. Along with the random backaches that seem to have appeared out of nowhere and the extra belly weight that never wants to go away, there was also some inexplicable force. It kept gnawing at me, almost chanting, “Start a Blog! Start a Blog!”

So, I listened.

It’s not like it was completely out of the blue. I have always been a writer at heart. I’ve just never truly allowed myself to pursue it. At least not until now, and maybe half heartedly the one time before.

In all the research I have done on blogging, the number one rule from all professionals: Find a Niche!

Bad news for us because that is not really how we do things here. We are an always on the go family, living in a blur of chaos and confusion, constantly modifying, learning lessons, making mistakes, changing our minds and, with any luck, growing. Isn’t that what real life is?

Maybe you ended up here because you, too, feel all over the place. Maybe you find it too boring to live on a singular, straight, and narrow path. Maybe you’re hoping a find a way to embrace the mayhem and jump all in, hoping to find something relatable to hold onto. On the other hand, maybe you just got lost on Google.

We welcome all the explorers, dreamers, and unapologetically messy, just like us! Regardless of how, we’re glad you’re here and happy to have you. We hope you stick around!
