Here we go

This post has been in the making for about 2 ½ years now. At first, I couldn’t think of the right name. Then, I couldn’t find satisfaction with the topic of my first post: the post that will set the tone, mood, face for everything this space is about. Then I couldn’t find the right background picture. Yes, for real. Then, I had two babies. Not at the same time, but one after the other. So, finally, I had enough and here I am. Sitting at Starbucks, enjoying the tall Pumpkin Spice Latte I’ve seen titled articles (which I purposely avoided reading) warning me not to drink (because there is no real pumpkin in there). My husband, Tony, is at home trying to put the kids to sleep and though I’m slowly filling up with anxiety that it is 9:30 and the kids are still not asleep, I’m just going to keep typing because otherwise this aint’ happenin’. Ever.

   

I solved the first problem I was having: the title. I played with a number of them but I could never find the perfect one. The one that would tell me and guide me and focus me on what I wanted this space to be. The one that would help those unfortunate souls who read my writing figure out what the point of it all might be. It finally hit me one day, just pick a damn title and move on. Still working on that background picture but I’m sure my husband can help me with that one. And the babies, well they are not going anywhere for another 18 years at least so I’ll just have to deal with that one as best I can. So, here we go.   

I am human. I am mother. And this space is my voice.

Oh ya, I'm catholic too.
