My "Job"

I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. I never had a plan. I only knew it was going to be something different, something unexpected, and I hoped something great. Here I am now, a single mom, making my living with a chainsaw, carving anything and everything out of a block of wood.

I have to say it is a job that is different and unexpected, and I'm still hoping someday it will be great. My life has careened through many changes since beginning this career eight years ago. I've went from a "normal" woman with a husband and daughter, to church every Sunday and always the good girl,

to the talk of my small town. After my divorce, I moved away and then came back to live in this town...with my girlfriend.

I'm going to be writing this blog to share the ups and downs I experience as I go against the grain and live my life here on my own terms. I no longer am going to try to fit in, be normal and not ruffle anyone's feathers. I'm going to confidently move forward with my life, my work and my family.

  1. They say that life if the stuff that happens in between well laid plans. No matter how well you think you can prepare, life always throws you a curve ball. That's just how it is. It's good to have a general idea of where you want to go & what you want to accomplish, but don't tie yourself in to a small narrow path. That's when you're gonna get that curve ball. Just live day-to-day and enjoy all that life has to offer! :)
