CHALLENAGES

I am very new to the blogging scene. This will be my very first public writing other than Facebook, that is only filled with personal friends and family. So, as you can see no pressure there. I first thought of starting a blog because everyone I have ever watched on YouTube say’s you need a blog and email list to become a successful writer. I have had many challenges in my life, but if they did not involve my kiddo’s. I never actually pushed through to my goal. Like some I am afraid of failure. Example. I became a Nurse, and Yes!!! it was difficult, so very very hard. I had always wanted to do something to make a difference. So, with three kids and living paycheck to paycheck, living without so many essential’s, I finally pushed through and got my LPN. A whole year of what seemed like barley any time with my kids. I was always studying or getting home late because of clinicals. All for a better life for my kids. Oh, and you might be asking “Why didn't you get it before kids?” Which would have been a smart thing to do. but I was saved because, I had my first son when I was 16. I know what most will say, and its ok because you are entitled to your opinion. My son saved my life, and we grew up together and I have never in my life been more proud of anyone.

So, I got off track. I titled this page “Challenges” because I have set up some Challenges along the way to complete for me.(and because my youngest always wants to challenge me to do something. Evidently its a thing on YouTube for kids. ) Anyways….

  1. I will write a chapter each week. (Yes, I want to be a writer) I spent my life enjoying the adventures of books. I have lived many lives and the fulfillment of knowing that you are transporting someone into your own world, must be amazing.
  2. I will continue my new transformation with Yoga. (Its a lot harder then it looks.)
  3. I will continue with my very new project Gardening. (Which I know nothing about.) My chicken would have been on the list but a neighborhood dog. broke into my chicken coop. (RIP RED.) the others were just egg layers.

4. I will finish one Jewel art project. (Yes, I enjoy it, but have never finished, nota one.

5. I will paint more, without being so hard on myself. Which means more Tutorials on YouTube. Yes more @theartsherpa. I love her. I always wanted to be like her, but that dang Saturn wont leave me be.

6. I will start Crochet again. I love it. Well I use to. Trying new patterns can get frustrating. Keep crochet on YouTube, its a lost art.

I know what your thinking. This is a lot. but what you don't know is that this is the revised version. I am limiting my self to these tasks. I am a victim of Anxiety and Depression. I cope okay with it. I have good days and Bad days. If I have a goal I am working forward to, I have less of a chance of Depression and as I complete goals I have set, even the small ones decreases my anxiety. So unlike the rest of my life. I am on a gurney to personal fulfilment and I would like to share it with you. Even if all it dose is amuse you. I am happy I could put a smile on your face.
