Growing as a Person, Mom, & Caregiver

I’ve spent the last 24+ years as a wife and mother, a caregiver as my kids with awesomeness* aged out of the cute kid stage.

I lost myself along the way.

Over the last decade, I’ve started picking apart the pieces that make me, me. And I’ve found out that I’m not just a mom. Or just a wife. Or just a caregiver. Or even just a Christian.

Those are certainly important parts of my identity. But I am more than just those parts.

Growing as a person meant digging deep into who I was, accepting new diagnoses, and learning new things.

Today I am proud to be a wife, mom, caregiver, and Christian. But I am also proud to be growing as a person and learning new things.

I’m inviting you along for the journey.

Because learning is better with friends.

Life is too.
