I often wonder where I went wrong.
What road did I miss turning down and why didn’t I see it?
Was I too busy searching instead of looking?
Was my head down when it should have been up?
I can’t seem to pin point the exact moment things started to unravel.
Is there even one exact moment?
Maybe it happened over years and years of choices and decisions?
And this unraveling was slow.
Maybe I missed many turns because I just wanted to go straight and keep to the comfort of my familiarity?
I’m not quite sure where it all became this messy,
but I see it now and it’s too late.
Time cannot be rewound,
Words cannot be swallowed as if they were never spoken.
I have reached this destination and I can only go forward and see where it takes me,
And this time, keep my eyes out for those turns.

I am a stay at home mom of three boys, ages 18, 14 and 9. I have been happily married to my husband since March of 2004. I love yoga (love), coffee, and a good book - there is always a page turner on my nightstand. In 2016 my brood moved across the country to live out our dream of having a life on the east coast. We packed our little car full of kids, animals and clothes and set out on the adventure of a lifetime. We now own a beautiful house out in the country and couldn't be happier. Life is good on my little piece of land. My goals in life are to be happy in my own skin, live in every moment and to share my thoughts with others and inspire them to be themselves! I believe that everyday is another chance for us to bloom into who we were meant to be.
