I really struggle with introductions. I don't like attention directly on me. I really struggle having my picture taken. In this day and age, it's not all that safe to share too much, so this needs to feel comforting and cozy, much like a warm blanket offers security. So while anonymity is not the goal, safety among the world wide web holds the key as I expose the depths of my heart.
I'm
a wife, mom, and grandma - titles I carry dearly and try not to take
them for granted. My husband is truly my best friend and over the many
years together (32+), I've come to love him more and more, especially for his patience
as I still learn to be the wife he deserves. My children are my joy,
and my grandchildren allow me to now spoil the child like I cautiously
avoided with my own.
I'm a homeschooling mom with graduated students, while still yet in the trenches with our youngest. It's a beautiful balancing act - and the gift of grandchildren now, has made it amazingly sweet to see our children grown, raising and homeschooling children of their own.

. . . and so I blow out tonight's candle and hope that I can find the words to share my heart.
