My Light Bulb Moment

November 24, 2018.Reading time 15 minutes.

I stood in the shower and a dozen thoughts darted in and out of my head. I kept landing back on just one. My blog. This little blog… I wanted to start writing again, but I didn’t know how. Or if I even should. So much has changed since I stopped. Would people still want […]

There is this picture I have of the ideal woman floating around in my head. She’s perfection and she knows it.

She is everything I want to be. She is smart, funny, a good homemaker, and can rock any lipstick color she wants. Plus she is just so damn happy. I want to be her. Problem is I’m hopelessly flawed…or actually, as I like to say, HopeFULLY flawed. There is always hope.

Here I’ll write about my numerous (and humorous) shortcomings, my (mostly happy) thoughts and ideas, and my failures and successes. Here I will strive for perfection and always fall short. Here is where I will try to become Almost “Her.”

“HER” defined: Funny, smart, brave, knowledgeable, beautiful, energetic, laid-back, positive, healthy, crafty, an amazing friend/daughter/girlfriend/wife/aunt/mother/grandmother, happy, full of faith, stress-free, thoughtful, honest, playful, spontaneous, and a bomb diggity cook.♥ (This list is never-ending.)
