I started a blog!

Welcome! I am so happy to announce I have started a BLOG!

I am super excited to share all things life here. This is a safe place to share my journey in my life. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook this is a spot where I will share a little more on my thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I’m getting deeper! I’m looking for a place to freely write. A place to document everything in my personal and business life. So, I don’t forget any of it! I came to a decision to start a blog, not only for me, but for my family, my kids. I want them to be able to look back and say ” I remember that!” or “I didn’t know that”. I’m sure they will be glad I started. Only wish I started sooner.

I started writing when I as in middle school and I loved it! I would write in “my diary” almost every day. I wrote about how I felt each day; what I did that day. Who I had a crush on. I guess the typical middle school stuff. I have no idea if kids these days even write anymore. Everything is tech! Everyone has a phone or iPad/tablet. I know for sure my middle school daughter doesn’t write like I did. She is in 6th grade and most of their work is on an IPAD.

I grew up with my dad & mom, my older brother and my sisters that are twins who have a disability. From what I can remember, my parents separated when I was 5 or 6 years old. My father had custody of my brother and me. While my sisters, who needed 24-hour assistance were placed in a state home. Once My father had retired from the Air Force, we moved off base. My mother moved into her own place. She had always worked the overnight shift, so I didn’t see her often. Every other weekend I would stay with her. Although being 9 years apart, I looked up to my brother the most. I’m sure I was a pest to him, but he was the closest person that I could relate to. My family was broken. He was the only one there.

Living with men through my adolescence, I reached for the pen and paper! During that stage in life, I had lots of feelings, questions, and influences. Writing helped me get through it all. Writing was and is therapeutic. Well, that is how I started writing. I’m ending with that.

Till Next Time

The Real Jamie. 🙂
