Welcome to my new personal blog!
Some of you may know me from my book blog: The Writer’s Inkwell
Originally I had started that blog during a time in my life when things weren’t going so well. I wanted to use it as a way for me to focus my frustrations into something constructive. For years, it basically sat there neglected, until I started sporadically adding my book reviews to the site last year. Then in August, I decided I no longer wanted it to be a sporadic endeavor and ever since I have been actively blogging about books. But there’s more to me than just being a bookworm and so I decided to create this new blog so I could focus other things that are important to me.
First and foremost, I’m an aspiring author. I’ve had dozens of really great ideas over the years, but I have never really gotten around to writing any of that. Well, that is about to change. I have a book that I will begin writing in the next few weeks and it’s my hope that one day I’ll be able to have something of mine published.
I am also a huge fitness fanatic. By all means, I don’t mean I’m one of those girls who is constantly dieting and heck, I’m not even in the best shape. But I enjoy the aspect of working out, especially when it comes to doing classes like bootcamps or zumba. So this will also be a feature of this blog.
Last but not least, I am a single mother. My son is autistic and even though he has progressed over the years, it’s still a huge aspect of my life. I am currently working on pursuing a career path that will help me aid other families with the information and sources they need. I’ll discuss this in a later post, but I can tell you, our journey was an extremely bumpy one and it was by sheer luck that we eventually made it to the better place we are now.
I look forward to being able to write about the other passions in my life and I hope you will join me on this journey. By no means will this blog be as busy as my book blog, but I think it’ll be a good way for me to connect with more people who have similar interests. So thank you for stopping by and I hope you’ll keep on returning.

P.S. I will be working on the layout of the blog over the next week. So please be patient with me.
