Welcome To My Life

Welcome to my life! I hope you enjoy my blog. You aren't going to find an exciting life of travel, of fortune, or of fame here. What you will find is the story of a woman who loves with all of her heart, who is finding who she is for the first time in her life, who strives every day to find a peace within that she can spread to each person she touches in this life. I want to make a difference, I want to stand out in a crowd, and I want to leave my mark on this earth and make the changes needed for my children and grandchild to have a beautiful life of peace on this earth.

I am 42 years old. I love my job as a medical assistant/office manager at Midtown Medical Group in Omaha, Nebraska. I also attend school full-time at Kaplan University, earning my Bachelor's Degree in Health Sciences in the field of Health and Wellness. I am happily married and have 5 children and a grandbaby that I adore!

My  main passion in life is music and writing and of course my family.  I am happiest when I am outside in the middle of nature where I feel closest to my maker and the universe.

I believe that I am like a butterfly. I have been in my cocoon stage for years, in a state of stagnancy and I was comfortable here. Within the past year, I have begun to shed my cocoon and have learned to expand my horizons, while slowly growing my wings. At first, I was scared and it felt odd to be stretching beyond my comfort zone. But as I have grown and opened myself up to unlimited potential, I have begun to find myself, the real me, hidden underneath complicated layers of fear and self-doubt, and I have seen my future in a new and different light. I believe that all things are possible if we only believe. I believe we create our own reality by the things we think and feel, and our minds are the only thing holding us back. No one can stop us, no one else can steal our dreams and hopes for the future. Believe in yourself, and you can do anything you set your mind to!

Last year when graduating from earning my Associate's Degree in Medical Assisting, I was asked to be the valedictorian of our ceremony. The name of my speech was titled "The Spirit of Change." (Please see my next blog for my complete graduation speech.) In this speech, I challenged each of the graduating student to strive to complete the process of metamorphosis and grow into that beautiful butterfly who is not afraid to spread their wings and reach for the sky. I challenge each of you to accept the same path.  Walk with me, throughout this blog, as we learn about the ways we can continue to grow and change and become the true people we were put on the face of the earth to be. Let's make the changes necessary within ourselves to change our world!
