So many things have happened in the last year. Im not even sure where to begin. I've been in a car accident - totalled the car but walked away uninjured. My brother in law passed away. Bankruptcy was finalized. House went into forclosure. Old relationships split apart, new relationships formed. And so many other things I cant get into here.

But it seems that out of some of these things, in the midst of heartbreak and sorrow, a healing is also happening. I am no longer afraid of the many things I once was afraid of. Ive rode a motorcycle, learned to shoot a gun, went on a vacation with friends. I have left my comfort zone, and I dont think I'll be going back anytime soon.

Right now, I'm taking the last class I need to get my substitute teachers license. I will soon be out on my own with my children. Yes I am scared. I know it will be a hard road to walk, but it will be ok.
