I have to believe that there's some good left in this world, and that most people can be saved from themselves. I have, however, lived long enough to learn that people have to want to be saved. I'm trying to learn how to tell the difference, while not letting the latter steer me too deeply off-course.

I've learned the difference between a problem and an inconvenience. A lump in your oatmeal, and a lump in your throat, and a lump in your breast is not the same lump.

I've never really had anything terrible happen to me. I've had hard things happen to me. Things I thought I'd never get past. Things that changed my life 180 degrees. But all those things helped me become who I am... someone with whom I am becoming mostly ok.

I'm not going anywhere terribly fast. I'm too busy stooping to pick people up along the way. But know that when I get there, we'll all get there too. That's just the way it has to be for me.

I'm a believer. A dreamer. An idealist. A realist. A cautious person who tries hard to trust. A mom. A wife. A sister, daughter, and a friend. I'm a confidant, a hero, someone occasionally self-absorbed, and someone occasionally so selfless that she finds it hard to catch up on her sleep.

The details: 30 year old. Happily married to my second husband. Mom to a 11 year old with an old soul. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and other random fandoms member. Project Manager. Public Service Major. Part-Time student. Boy Scout volunteer. Confused human. Struggling buddhist/taoist/spiritualist. Ultimate believer in the great cosmic order of things.

Trying to find my place and my way.
