Everything You Want Is On The Other Side of Fear.

Everything I wanted for the life of my kids and I was on the other side of my fear. And thus, a blog is born.

When I first separated from my now ex-husband, over four years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would come out of my comfort zone. That I would overcome my fears and create a new life for my kids and I. I made several goals. One such goal was to take my kids somewhere new every year, by myself. I had NEVER gone on vacation by myself with my kids. Sure I had taken them by myself to see family a few hours away, but the drive was familiar and one I’d done uncountable times. I never felt all alone either, because we were with family. Taking my kids by myself to Disneyland?! The old me thought that was plain crazy. Not anymore. We’ve now gone multiple times. Does it scare me to take my kids on vacation by myself? Absolutely. Have I gotten upset, yelled, and more than one of us have cried? You betcha. Will I keep doing it? Absolutely. We’ve gone on some memorable vacations together, just the three of us. Places I never would’ve dreamed of going by myself with my kids.

Four years later and thousands of pictures of our adventures and I am amazed at what we’ve done together, and all the fun, new places we’ve gone. I never would’ve been able to do all this if I had stayed hidden behind my fear.

Coming out of my comfort zone has always been really hard for me. Man. Have I had such a love hate relationship with trying to overcome my fears! It’s been scary, and beautiful all at the same time. Join me, as I continue to navigate life as a single mom, trying to come out of my comfort zone, and creating the life for my kids and I that I’ve always wanted. I’m excited about this next stage of my life.
