My journey

Thank you everyone for your kind words, uplifting stories and encouragement through the beginning steps of my blog.  However, this will be my last one. Writing this blog has been a great source of pride for me and I appreciate everyone that came along for the ride. I’ve realized my target audience of other young mothers will not be reached by my blog.  I would love to venture into some public speaking on teen pregnancy so if anyone has any input on where I can begin for that step of my journey I would greatly appreciate that.

Writing about my life and putting myself out there has been hard and rewarding. Most people that know me, know that I am a teen mother but they didn’t know the journey I have been on for the last 20 years. I thought I was writing this blog to help other young mothers with there challenges, along the way I realized how much I was helping myself. By putting my thoughts on paper I have learned so much about myself, about how I’ve grown and where I was. I’ve learned that forgiveness is healing and we can only learn from our mistakes. I’ve  learned sometimes we take family and the ones we love for granted and by me writing this blog I hope each and every one of them know how deep my love runs. I hope my son remembers all the words I’ve ever spoke as he moves on to the next steps of his life with the US Navy.

There is no doubt that my greatest accomplishment is my son. I started out on a path I would have never known would lead me here. I am grateful for every person that has entered my life, whether you are still in it or have left. I would not have been able to be the mother I am without you in it!
