Join me on my Journey

I remember when the world was fabulous and I was happy simply because everything around me was pink.  There was pink paint on the walls and plush pink carpeting in my bedroom, pink theme to my Strawberry Shortcake collection, my fashionable pink faux fur jacket, and even a pink bow on Hello Kitty's head.  Now the world is cloudy and gray.  In the past 12 months I have endured :

• 2 uterine surgeries
• Hormone injections
• Fact that I will more than likely not be able to carry a child to term
• Anemia
• Diagnosis of high blood pressure
• Gaining of 20 pounds
• Adult onset acne
• Loss of a friendship that was over a decade and half
• Terminal cancer diagnosis for my father-in-law
• AND within the past few weeks...the LOSS of my JOB

 My dear friend suggested that I journal and gave me a pink book for that task.  However, when I tried to write in it, I had flash backs.  I saw my 4th grade teacher making me tear up my poem that I poured my heart into because she thought that I had plagiarized.  I winced as I remembered my 7th grade teacher accusing me of the same action.  At that moment in  middle school, I swore off writing FOREVER!.  Hence, I could not journal as I had in the past, so I am trying my hand at blogging.

I welcome you to join me as I travel through this new journey of healing, becoming domesticated, reducing my lifestyle, and job hunting in this digital era.  Together we will find pink in this gray world.

My promise to you is that every entry will include a successful reflection for the day and a pink inspiration.  Let the laughs BEGIN!
