I’m not really a ‘hello world!’ kind of girl but this seems like a fitting way to greet all of you at once and introduce myself. Hi… my name is Christie. *stares at the invisible circle of strangers around her that have magially appeared like a thrown together support group* Yes, by reading this you’re now in my circle!
Not to sound like I’m introducing myself on a dating app, but… I’m 44, almost 45. I am the mother of three amazing children. I have four dogs and one cat. You’ll hear all about them at some point along the way, I’m sure of it. I am a Sagittarius. I have ADHD. I love bread but I never eat it. I have struggled, I am blessed. I love to travel and have the opportunity to do so through my job. I am alone most of the time but have grown used to it, though it was never my ‘norm.’ I had a childhood that I describe as nteresting, though many have categorized it as disturbing, a bit crazy, and very intense. My adulthood didn’t vary much until I finally, at the tender age of 39, was released back into the wild by a husband of 21 years, who quite likely never really loved me at all. We’ll get there. That’s a good one.
My goal: I want to tell you my story and not because I need it to be heard but because I’m tired of toting it around. What I have found is that the more I type and think and type some more, the more I release. And at the same time, the more I remember. And that’s where things get weird.
