since it's been so very long
since i have blogged regularly.
thought i'd do a lil re-introduction of sorts. :)
grab a big ol' cup o coffee or tea...
this is ME...
with my beautiful daughter in the background.
if you know me, you know i take ALL the pics in the family
because i can't stand photos of myself. literally can't stand.
however...
with a daughter who is 10 years old
and growing up so very quickly
i don't want to be an example of
self doubt, criticism or judgement.
my goal this year is to have more pictures of ME taken,
and include them in my blogging, scrapbooking, etc.
looking through past albums i've done, it almost looks like
the kids were raised without a mama!
i do want to preserve a memory for them of who i was...
wrinkles and all. :)
so...baby steps, right?
i'm working on getting the whole face in there.
who's with me on this?
ok...so a little more about me...
i am:
a solo mama to three beautiful children.
a believer in the infinite love & power of God.
a truly loved partner of an amazing truly loved man.
a kindergarten teacher/mom to 13 beautiful little souls in my classroom this year.
a lover of the different, unique, individual.
an impassioned supporter of young girls and their need to be shaped in a positive, powerful way.
a believer in the impossible.
a lover.
a hoper.
a dreamer.
nice to meet you. :)
we all within us
have the power to be
exactly who we want to be.
and define OURSELVES.
you are NOT what others tell you to be.
no matter if you are 10 or 70.
you are and can be
exactly whom YOU choose to be.
it's a beautiful, beautiful thing when you discover this.
so, there's a bit about me.
how about you?
xoxo
Lovely to meet you again! I look forward to another day, a warmer day, that we can sit on the porch and enjoy the sunshine, the kids and the tea. Truly blessed am I to call you my friend. Your loved!

It's nice to learn a bit more about you! I'm just starting my career over, living my dream: after 28 years as a school psychologist, now I'm running my antique and craft business full time, and loving it!

glad to see you here again cristina. And while you may not like having your photo taken, you are such a beautiful woman, it's a joy to see your smiling face. I've been absent from blogging for a long time too. time to re-introduce myself also.
