About Me and This Online Journal

I decided to start a general journal where I would record things I think about, value, feel, believe, and experience. I just enjoy writing, expressing, and creating.

At this point in my life, I am learning to be single again. I was divorced in 2005, and my ex-husband passed away this past summer. I teach ESL (English as a Second Language) in a public elementary school. This is my second year back into teaching. I am finding it a rewarding career.

I enjoy reading. Mostly, I read non-fiction self-help books. I got into that genre when my dad passed away in 1999, and I went through my divorce. This summer, I started back reading some fiction, too.

I love genealogy. As I learn about past generations, I find myself being transported back in time, in my mind. It is also like completing puzzle.

I find scrapbooking to be a good companion hobby to go along with my genealogy. Scrapbooking is one of my creative outlets.

I participate in small groups through my church. You will find a link, in my profile, to one of my small groups (Southwest Community blog).

That's a little about me! More later.
