About Me
I am a recently divorced mother of two young children. I work in the software world that is dominated by men. And I have a lot that I want to share, even if only for myself. For the time being I prefer to stay anonymous as I am both embarrassed and struggling through my new life.
I have always wanted to start a blog but didn't think I had anything worth sharing. But I believe that all changed when I went on a life changing trip to Africa and it opened by eyes to my life as it was then. On the first day of the trip I decided I was done with my marriage and 4 months later I am living alone part-time (joint custody) and am navigating new waters.
I am not on here to just complain about my life but to document my journey and write through some things. I am a person who struggles with talking to people but I can put all my thoughts down on paper and I feel instantly better! And If I don't have anyone but 1 reader who I help through a personal struggle of theirs then missions accomplished. The world is large, so many people, everyone is a click away, yet most people have never felt so lonely, I am one of them.
I am 34 years old, I live in the Pacific Northwest, I still live in my home town (of 40,000), I enjoy the 4 seasons, I love to travel alone and with my children, I am an animal enthusiast, I have a knack for interior designing and love to dive into personal finance. I am the youngest of four kids, my dad was an engineer, my mom a dental assistant from Germany so I grew up with 2 very different cultures. I have a Bachelor's in both Animal Science (2012) and Bioengineering (2018). I began with a career wanting to become a Veterinarian. Now I work in the construction software world as a project manager - I'll never actually understand how I ended up with my life the way it is (lol) but I can change again!
Disclosure: not all the photos are mine. some are stock. but I will be switching those out, so no my hair does not look perfectly windblown while sitting by the lake. but her view is similar to what home has to offer!
