Why am I blogging now? Recent events this summer surrounding my father's death made me lose control of my life. I actually began to blog in summer of 2010, but gave up or lost interest.
I like to do things that are useful. So I'm breathing life back into my blog with a plan this time. I'm hoping to express myself through my blog to help myself heal.
As well, I do have a bit of life experiences I hope will be useful to my readers. I hope to help people feel like they are not alone and at the same time I will feel the same. I think I will need you far more than you will need me.
I'm a wife, mother, step-mother, Grammy and a professional. I'm open minded, enjoy some dark humour, and once had a regular life. So I made it seem. I didn't realize what an Oscar winning role I've played all this time. I'm working on my self-care presently and I'm being patient with progressing from victim to survivor and thriver.
I grew up in a dysfunctional family, drenched in incest and molestation. A school life of bullies. A mother who was non-existent, except physically.
A million realities are in my vault of my mind's closet. I call my blog this because my mind is just like a closet; parts are messy, others organized, sections buried deep, way at the back in the darkest corners are secrets sealed tight for years. It is far time that I clean it out.
My blog is perhaps all over the map, but that is who I like to be - the more you know and share the more you grow and care.
