I think I finally am overcoming my first time jitters?! I started creating this blog over a month ago, with more stops than go's. So nervous about the whole thing. What would I share? What do I share? What shouldn't I share? I tend to hesitate and look at things from every angle. I guess so I don't feel like an idiot later?. Ha!
So, you might be asking why do I want to blog then?. Good question, I say.
Well, let me start by introducing myself. I'm Shannon and I've been married to my husband for 16 years now, together 18. And we have three cool kids! Two with special needs. My daughter is 15 and a freshman (yeah, yikes!), my older son is 12 and youngest son is seven. And over the last few years, I have had people that know me and know my family and our situation, say I should write a book. That I have so many funny things to share and life experiences that would help others. I thought, yeah a book, neat. But I don't know about that now, not yet at least. I don't know the first thing about writing a book. And then the last several month to now, I have had more and more people say I should blog! 'Really?' I say. Hmmm, maybe...
I do feel like I have so much in me always wanting to explode out and share. From marriage, to faith in God, to special needs Moms, etc. Lots I wish I journaled personally. Many are experiences and things that the Lord taught me in our journey with Autism. Things that you just can't learn by not going through them. The transformation it brought in me and character building that was so painful. But yet the funny side, the humor that sometimes you think, the Lord MUST be laughing right now.
My great obsession with coffee! Come on! Who doesn't have some kind of obsession?! Joking around alone about it makes life stay a little more on the light side ya know? So thanks to sweet people in my life near and far, I'm venturing out and expanding myself.
So that's a little about me and why I am starting this chapter of my life. I do feel like I am in a new season/chapter of my life. It's getting off to what feels like a slow start, but hey! It's only the beginning of February right?!
