So, this blog is not specifically about having red hair, but it is about the journey of my life, and I just happen to be a redhead. Who knows, maybe other redheads can relate to some of the trials and tribulations, successes and challenges that I've overcome in my 40 plus years of life, or maybe it's just coincidence.
I really didn't realize how much I've been through until I dug through years of documents, journals, essays, poems, photos, and scrapbooks with my daughter recently. It all started making sense...what I went through growing up is now making sense in my adult life.
Some of these subjects will be hard to swallow, while others will hopefully make you laugh and cause inspiration. All in all, I really just wanted a way for my daughter to remember me and the things she has learned from me so she can tell her kids. I wasn't able to do that with my mom. I'll get to that in a future post.
I'm not sure the best way to go about documenting my life. There are so many vivid memories but so many holes as well. I will share some of my most personal poems and diary entries. At this point, vulnerability will be a real deal. I know there are people out there who have experienced far worse than me. This is more of a personal blog as a record for my family and I hope you enjoy it as well.
