allow me to (re)introduce myself...

I've been on the fence about going back to write on this blog. It seems like everyone who thinks they have an original thought has a blog these days. Usually I wonder if they're in it for the attention or maybe the freebies. Well in this case, I can assure you- it's both. 

But really, writing has always been a form of therapy for me. I enjoy writing and I enjoy sharing my work with others. 

I went back to read some of my earlier posts and it's clear I am not the same person I once was five years ago. So I think that it's only right that I take the opportunity to reintroduce myself before I start to post on...

I'm Liz.

I'm a wife, mother, teacher, and coach.

I've learned that humor can get me through anything. Unfortunately that has led to me making jokes at really inappropriate times. 

I don't believe in regret- I believe every experience becomes a part of who you are and that everything happens for a reason.

I've been told I can read people very well, however I have zero intuition with my own kid most times.

People tell me I'm a suck up; I just know that I can usually get anything I want by being nice. Manners do go a long way and karma is a sneaky bitch.

I'm pretty sarcastic. That's what happens when you spend your days with middle schoolers. 

I'll be honest, I'm struggling writing this introduction because the truth is, I'm not sure who I am right now. Like many women I know, I spent all of my twenties on adventures of self discovery figuring out who I was. I bought a house, lived alone, traveled, and became fiercely independent and adventurous. 

Shortly after hitting 30, I got married and pregnant shortly after- that person who I was slowly started to take a backseat as I took on new responsibilities in my new roles as wife and mother. I suppose you'll all be joining me on this journey as I reinvent myself. 

Pleased to meet you.
