A Start...

     A few years ago I started a blog to help myself channel the emotions of dealing with several life challenges, I found that it was challenging to write for an audience of people with no sure idea of what  I would like to say. Now with a better understanding of myself and with a clear idea ( I hope) of what I would like this blog to develop into,  I am optimistic that this can become a successful venture , a place to gather my thoughts and meet the challenges of life by putting words on screen.
     So let me start off by giving a little background about myself. I am a military wife of 15years with three children. My husband is currently serving on Active Duty. As you can imagine this is a unique situation for anyone to find themselves however I am fortunate to have a very strong support system of colleagues, friends, family and other military wives here and all over the world in which to connect and grow with. As you might have guess with constant moving about and a focus on my husband career at the forefront of much of my life, following my own dreams has been a challenge. As any military spouse learns that we are not merely spectators of our husband's job choice, we make a real lifestyle change. Which sacrifices some for all members of the family. Through this choice which I have never regretted. I have reinvented the idea of who I thought I was and who I can be personally and in terms of my career.
     Once a upon a time, I saw myself as a traditional classroom teacher, I pursued my educational goal, through the raising of two children , the birth of a third and through 3 deployments. However as my husbands career has flourished, mine dream I found was not able to continue quite as I thought. So after  two moves across the United States in 3 years, I hit upon a way to impact positively the children and families of my military community and help support my husband as well, thus I was able to open a child care center within my home. Through this I am finding as much enjoyment as I believed was always there for me within education just maybe not to the audience that I once that I would be reaching.
      It is a rewarding and challenging as any career and really once you find a career you enjoy shouldn't that be what the focus should be on?
