We all grow up with an image of ourselves. We are shaped partly by biology, partly by environment. These pages will be dedicated to my own journey of discovery. Who I am has been profoundly shaped by the people I have come across throughout my life. From the closest friend, to the stranger I spent fifteen minutes chatting with in line at the grocery store. I am a woman, a Mom, a sister, a daughter, a wife. I am the lady next door who appears to be as normal as the next person. Living out my life as it has been expected of me. Married to a man that I love. Raising my children. And we really are normal. I'm normal. And am of the opinion that my bisexuality is far more of a common trait then most women want to admit. I didn't always accept these feelings as legitimate but as the saying above says everyone we meet in life plays a role in who we become and the path we take. I met someone who made an incredible impact on my life. One that she'll probably never know. But that's not necessary for the process to continue. I realize now that the feelings are real, normal, healthy and mine. I embrace them and go forward. Never knowing where that fork in the road will lead me.
I truly hate pictures of myself. I consider myself extremely un-photogenic. This is one of the few that I don't despise completely. I don't like it, but I don't hate it. I'm 33 in case you're wondering.
As I mentioned I am a Mom. I have six children. Ages 10, 8, 5, 3, 2 and 6 months. Yes, you read that correctly. I have six kids. Yes we occasionally watch T.V. We are Catholic but that has no bearing on the number of children we have. Yes, I know what causes children. Yes, I am "fixed" or I had a tubal ligation after my last child was born. I was never broken. Nor am I a puppy. Here are just a few pics of my beautiful children.
This is my youngest son; Logan William just a few hours and then a few days old.
