Hello!! Welcome to my blog. This is my first ever entry. I'm super nervous and super excited. Why did I start this blog? Well, it's been something I wanted to do for about five years now but never had the time to do it. Last August I retired from the Ann Arbor VA Healthcare System and thought if this was going to happen, now is the time. So here I am. My goal is to create a community where we can talk about anything and everything. I've been told that I have a way of talking to people that makes them feel calm, heard, and safe.
Some things about myself, I am married for 33 years. My husband Kyle and I met and married while we were stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Both of us served in the Air Force for 22 years. We dated all of 5 months and then got married. It's been a journey of ups and downs with both of us navigating this ever-changing world together. He is my person, and I wouldn't have it any other way. We have two grown children. Our son Justin is 28 and works on wind turbines. He travels the country at different sites and is a manager on the construction team. He is also a content creator for Roblox. My daughter Teryn is 25. She is married to her husband Blake, and they are expecting a baby in February so I'm going to be a grandma which I am thrilled about. They are also in the process of building a house and are due to move in within the next few weeks.
My reasons for doing this blog and for doing YouTube as well are many. Being 57 years old and in menopause my life has been turned upside down in the past ten years. There are things I have learned were effective for overall health, and things that weren't. I've learned so much about wellness that I want to share it with all of you. I also want to have a space where we can talk about everything together. I have many interests and hobbies that I want to share with you.
My plan is to post a blog every Tuesday and Thursday and then a YouTube video on Fridays to further expand on what I covered in my blogs.
