As I started setting up my blog, this was my first hurdle. How can I possibly describe my experiences and my thought process in a way that might make people feel a kinship to me? And then how could I fit my experiences into 1200 words? Well, I can't. I suppose I wouldn't have started a blog if I had as little as 1200 words to say about anything. Then I wondered who would want to read what I had to write? I'm not a celebrity or the CEO of a major company. Just a regular girl. I have two boys, ages 3 and 5 (which I'm sure will provide a large amount of material for me to blog about). My husband of 6 years is on active duty in the Navy and presently deployed. I am the owner/operator of West Road Soy Candles as well as Uforya Body. I was raised in MidCoast Maine and attended the University of Maine where I received my degree in Nutrition. After graduation I worked as a Dietitian for 7 years and bartended on the weekends (which is how I met my husband). I currently reside in Washington State and am about to embark on my Master's in Nutrition program in two weeks (eeeek!).
Wow, so I guess I have a little bit of a resume. So what can you expect from a blog written by me? I'll be honest. There really isn't anything I won't discuss. Takes a lot to make me blush and I haven't come across many topics that I shy away from. My primary purpose for the blog was a daily outlet for me. With my husband gone, I find that I observe a lot of different things over the course of a day and then have no one to share them with - preK boys don't want to listen to what I have to say unless I use the word "poop" a lot. I would like to empower other military spouses to be strong individuals while still being great supporters of their loved ones. I want to help people who want to take something they love to do and create their own small businesses (love a good entrepreneur). I want to share my quick wit so that others can find the humor in every situation, because anyone who knows me is well aware that I can't take anything seriously. Finally, I want to talk maybe just a little here and there about Nutrition, because it is a big interest of mine.
Well, I think that's a good start. Doesn't really let you know all that much about me, but I like a little mystery.
Just look how awesome you are in 1200 words or less, aren't I lucky to be your neighbour?! (<--- that's how you spell it in Canadian) I'm your first follower, yay me!
