Too sweet!?

This is my first blog post. I wonder how many times that line has been written? I have always been a writer, but never took the time to write as an adult. There has always been a purpose. I finished my doctorate (Ed.D) in November of 2024. I actually was depressed after that. Now what? I had spent so many years working towards a goal and that goal is done. I joked about how I may get another degree, but that doesn’t feel right. I have read books and tried hobbies, and yet my soul craves writing. There’s so much I have been through and so much to share. I’ve contemplated writing a book (it’s actually a life goal!) but I’m not ready yet.

I went a new place to get my hair done the other day. The beautician asked so many questions, I found myself crying during a hair appointment. But then she said “You’re too sweet to have all that tragedy in your life. I’m so sorry.” I’ve heard the apologies before. But it was the ‘too sweet’ that hit me. I am not too sweet! But the outside can appear differently than the inside. Inside is full of so many emotions, so much trauma and turmoil yet love and peace. And that’s when I knew, I have to start getting all this out.

And so this journey begins…it’s going to be a wild ride because there’s so much to say and there’s so much I want to share…stay tuned…
