Sorry guys and gals, I sort of fell off the face of the planet for a while there. I had a sudden death in my family, the death of my father. While I still had the urge to update my blog I just could not find the energy, the time, or the creativity that has always flowed through me like water. I had to take care of myself, mentally and physically first, while maintaining a strong facade so people did not realize the amount of suffering I was going through. I wanted to try and remain as strong as possible for the family around me, I saw how destroyed they were, and I had the need to do everything in my power to make them whole once again. I always have had that urgency to help others first, and put myself last. I did learn the hard way though, this is not a good way of dealing with such a tragic event in your life. I ended up dealing with the results to my fathers death after everyone else, I fell behind in the "grieving process". After some soul searching, puppy loving (thanks to my munchkin, Winnie), and amazing friends I feel I am becoming myself again. I may have even become a more positive, outgoing, and stronger version of myself. As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger (love me some Kelly Clarkson!). This was an exhausting and trying time in my life, however I feel I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, finally! I am beginning to realize that I need to start focusing on things that make me happy, instead of looking backwards to things I cannot change.
YAY KIM!!!!!!!! Can't wait to read more!
