Who I Am...

I've decided to start writing again. To not think too much about it. To not worry about what people think. Today is about me.

I am

• a mom who has never loved motherhood but who loves my children with all my heart.
• that person who doesn't believe people actually like me. I don't say "I don't know why she doesn't like me"; I say "I don't know why they want to spend time with me!"
• someone who rarely sends out friend requests on Facebook because I'm scared of rejection. Sounds cliché but it's true.
• a person who is always thinking about how I can help someone else out. Even if I don't like them.
• completely comfortable training a room of 100+ people on after school activity programming or how to use our software but who goes through major anxiety going into a social situation.
• someone who has an extremely hard time asking for help.
• a person who likes to come up with ideas and have others carry out the details.
• passionate about finding a way to help parents, particularly parents of difficult or out-of-control kids.
• a reader. 
• a dancer.  
• a stepmom who will never stop loving the children I helped raise.
• very sensitive to noise. Quiet is important to me.
• living with depression.
• not a seller. I don't enjoy anything that involves trying to get people to buy something from me.
• sometimes a writer.
• learning that sometimes my expectations are unrealistic, particularly with myself. 
• better at communicating through writing than in conversation.
• going to make my dream come true and make a living doing work I'm passionate about.

You can help my dream come true. Can you spare $5.
