This is my very first blog post, so bear with me and my struggles.

I have always been a talker. I enjoy talking to people. I love finding out what is important to them and sharing what is important to me. I even love a good old fashioned debate every now and then. Everyone is passionate about something, sometimes it takes a while to figure out what that something is.

I recently turned the big 4-0. People in my circle might find it hard to believe, but I have only recently found my “big girl” voice. Now, I have always been able to talk to folks in my circle about the things I feel are important. It is talking to others, the public, strangers that I have found most difficult. I have focused on this fear that people will think less of me or won’t like me if they knew how I feel about certain topics. But you know what? Who cares? Other people shouldn’t get to dictate what is important to you.

My goal for this blog is to post about things that are important to me. Things that I find incredible. Things that are hard and sometimes heavy. Grief. Love. Loss. Family. Friends. Politics. Social issues. Good days, bad days and everything in between.

I am writing for anyone and everyone. I am writing for myself. I am writing for my family, my children. I am writing to show that everyone has a voice and that voice is important.

I promise (probably) my posts will get better over time…

Love to all,

Sarah
