Back in the Saddle Again

It's been awhile since I wrote anything on this blog...years in fact! I guess life either got too boring to share or too interesting to take the time to share. I shall continue though to write, since writing is in my blood, mind, and soul. I cannot not write. So I have been blogging for my church's women's ministry for several years. I enjoy that, but feel as though I should rekindle writing beyond my little "safe" world. I cannot promise that I will faithfully write each week, but that is my goal. I need to speak my mind, be an encourager, etc. I noticed that my last blog several years ago, stated that I was going to speak my mind by writing regularly and apparently that all got derailed. The intentions, that is, not my mind. As far as I can tell that is still on some track, although I must admit, it my be a track that I myself have yet to follow. I used an old cowboy term to title this blog...back in the saddleback again, I think because it is familiar and perhaps a bit catchy. whether I ride the literary train or horse make no difference to me...I am back for adventures and thoughts. I do not know this time around if I will "speak my mind" about controversial topics, share lessons from my faith, or have any theme at all. It's truly back in the saddle for me! Since I have written here, life has taken me on many adventures. I have moved to Surprise, AZ. I have traveled to Indonesia where my younger daughter now lives. I have embarked on a business adventure with my older daughter, while still providing quality of life programming for seniors at a nursing home/rehab center. I believe I was still homeschooling my grandson when I last wrote. That adventure ended over five years ago on a positive note when he and his siblings found a charter school they could attend. And I returned to my previous career. I reestablished my certification and also became Board Certified as an Activity Professional. So all is well. The writing is no longer on the back burner and I will answer God's call to write. I hope you look forward to reading...as I look forward to sharing. God bless!
