Hi, I am C and I would like to start out with…. I really don’t know what I am doing. This is something very new to me. I love to write and I have had a very eventful life. Not all bad there has been some good of course. Life always will have its ups and downs. It’s all in how we choose to handle that weather its in a bad way or a good way. Living with chronic pain that is effected by strong emotional events or high stress that can come with certain situations has its challenges. I have fibromyalgia and few other discomforts that go along it. I …just like so many others have stories that has lead me to this point. What I am expecting from starting a blog? No clue. To be honest I am not sure what to expect. I am just scratching the surface of endless possibilities.

So here I am in my mid 40’s a single mom doing something that I was never confident enough in doing ever. I have struggled so much with self value, worth, and confidence through my whole life. That I would just allow myself to fall through the cracks. So this is me taking a leap of faith with some encouragement coming from the right places. I have a lot of things I have experienced that has thought me some very valuable lessons. The pain that comes with fibromyalgia was a whole set of lessons to it self. As I am going through another hardship a good friend kept telling me. “You are not the only one that has, is or will go through what you are going through”. So that got me thinking that if I could write about some of these things that maybe it would help someone (even if it is just one) feel like they are not alone. Or if just maybe something that I have done to help myself get though some of the downs of life can help just one person. Then I know that I have made the right move.

I actually took this leap and purchased this ready to start like 3 weeks ago. I am going through my second divorce and it got really hard right after I started this. Seemed like every time I touched it I would get interrupted….. I was not liking it. Well after the removal of a certain person the whole atmosphere changed if my home. Blew my mind really, and I took close to two week to rest and recover. This was not fun as far as my fibromyalgia goes. This experience will be talked about in the future. Which brings me to the now. I have had so many different things to touch me through out my life that I use to not like talking about myself. I viewed my life as C’s series of unfortunate events.

One thing that I hope to do with this is to write about life’s challenges. And the things that I found that helped me on my journey. I would like to write about living with chronic pain and how I have learned to cope with triggers that bother my fibromyalgia. I also want to touch on a wide range of things like depression, inner work, alcoholism, and addiction. And all the not so good feelings that go with these things. Some of this ties in living in pain all the time. I also want to write about my accomplishments, spiritual journeys, and positive transitions. And I hope to create some fantasy short stories and art! There are so many things to write about. How can you say oh I am only going to write about this or that.

You know that I have gotten some really good advice about the world of writing. I am very excited for this journey. I do believe that everything happens for a reason in our lives. Some major and some not so much. Is’t it funny how sometimes we only need to get our heads out of our asses to see what direction to go in. So please bare with me as I learn how do all this. I am sure I will fumble around at first. But I am confident that I will get this all figured out! I can not wait to see how all this develops. I am ready for the world!
