I'm a mother of two. My son is 24 and married and my daughter is 21 and married. Being a Mom has been the most rewarding job but it wasn't always the easiest. I also homeschooled both of my children for grades K-12 and while it was rewarding to be a part of my children's education, it came with the challenges as well. I am now navigating the empty nest with my husband. We have been married for 25 years. I am a crazy cat lady with three cats, but would love to have more. I would compare my life to a rollercoaster ride. There have been the high points when things have been good and then there have been the falls and the low points. Learning how to hold on for dear life, has been a challenge especially living with anxiety, depression, bi-polar, and ADHD. Through help from therapy, medication, peer support, my faith, my family, and of course my three cats, I've been able to manage the falls and the low points in my life.
