Fast Forward

     Why not just start at the beginning? Why not go through your childhood and build on it?  I have my reasons.  Anyways, it is almost June of 2026.  For months, I have been fighting the itch to get back to writing.  About a decade ago, I was posting regularly to a Blogger account with several blogs created to tell a story.  As I said above, I do have a method to my madness.  I could easily just go in order, do a timeline, etc. but, that is not how I want my story to be told.  

    The goal of this specific blog is to keep me accountable.  If I get bored or am just laying around, I need to grab my laptop or phone and just write until I cannot write anymore.  Recounting 35 years is a lot and I have gone through a wide range of ups, downs, and landslides. I guess the challenge comes in with fighting myself mentally because doubt will always hover over me.  I have more support now than I have ever had in my past.  Being related by "blood" does not make you automatically" family."  

    In the end, I need to believe in myself.  No matter what the number of views, comments, or shares shows, exposure is not the goal.  I want to give value and power to expressing myself through writing as a way to heal.
