After a great deal of reflection and prayer, I decided today was the day to begin anew. This time my blog was going to be a little bit different. Everything out there on blogging tells you all this nonsense about finding a niche and keeping up that niche and how to get tons of visitors, and yada, yada, yada.... That's probably why I get frustrated and bored. I JUST want a platform where I can share what's on my mind today. Simple as that.
Many years ago (like way back in my junior high and high school days), I used to journal ALL THE TIME. I didn't go anywhere without my little journal book. I used to LOVE to write about what I did with my friends, the silly dreams I had, and my newest crushes. As I got older, and especially after I had children, taking time out of my day to write just, well, I just didn't have time for it. Now that my children are older and I have more time on my hands again, writing with an actual pen and paper just seems like another chore to me. Typing, on the other hand, is easy. Mostly, it doesn't bother my aging fingers and hands as much. lol.
By the way, my name is Jeannette. I am 40+ years old. I am a mother of four children; Jacob, Corissa, Kyle, and Cheyenne. I am also a grandmother to one grandson, Parker. I am married to a pretty wonderful man. His name is Ron. We have three Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix dogs named Mouse, Cupcake, and Boo. HALF of my family just moved from Pembroke, Georgia to Roseville, California because my husband got a new job out here. My adult children, Jacob and Corissa, and my grandson, Parker, are still living back on the east coast.
I am a Christian and God is very important to me. I started off my early years being raised Catholic. Somewhere in my teens I realized that wasn't quite the belief system I wanted to continue and so somewhere in my 20's I "ran away" from the Catholic Church and turned towards a more "spiritual" way of understanding. To this day I still classify myself as being a Gnostic Christian. I believe in the teachings of Jesus and I believe in finding the Truth about God, Jesus, our purpose here in the physical, etc. I enjoy reading bits and pieces of the Bible but I have never been able to put my complete faith in it. As so many have said, I agree that the Bible has a great deal of Truth in it but it was also written by men who had an agenda that sometimes had nothing to do with God.
What is my blog going to be about? Whatever I feel like writing about, pretty much. Simple, simple, simple. Some of the things you can probably expect... stuff on cooking, crochet, other crafts, homeschooling ideas and experiences, our new life here in California, some past experiences and hopefully new experiences on some of our travels and day to day adventures, depression and anxiety, working from home or finding independent money-making opportunities, selling online, keeping a clean house, couponing, and a little bit of whatever makes for a normal life.
Okay, so I think that's a good start. Time to get this blog publishes and up and running. More to come very soon!!!
