Calling all real people:

Thank you for taking a minute to read my blog… I am 46 and I live in Queen Creek AZ. I am a tax analyst who lost my job on Tuesday this week, yes it was a shock to me too! I am a real women who struggles everyday with money, I live paycheck to paycheck and I have no 401K, as who has extra money to save.  I need to…… hopefully one day. I have three horses, two dogs, one with Spina Bifida and a husband.  I am also a mom to an amazing son who is currently serving in the Marine Corp.  The last five years of my life have been the worst I have ever had.  I have lost a business, sent my son to boot camp and lost everything I had.  I then thought it was a great idea to move from Chicago to Arizona and start over.  Wow what a change.  I cannot seem to find my career home, always unsettled in some way…. people are treated so poorly and employers don’t seem to want to invest in their employees anymore.  Its a struggle. Let’s talk about my marriage.  My husband Trine and I married in November 2014. A quaint little ceremony and I was truly happy or so I thought… this area of my life has also been rough, we are continually trying to make it work. Alot of it is both of us being stubborn and not wanting to change our dysfuntional past.. I am currently trying to change who I am and dear Lord its a struggle.  I am  normally a person who enjoys life and is very happy.  I then had to open my eyes to my personality….. I am truly a genuine person that will always help someone in need.  I have however been very mean and not so nice to people. I am truly trying to not be judgemental and truly undersatand that everyone has a journey.  I would like to share my journey with you and help you and myseld to realize that we are all so similiar and we can support each other and talk about true feelings and real things that go on in everyday life, our struggles, our triumphs, our failures.  Stay tuned…… introduce yourself to me and share your journey with me! I look forward to connecting with you!
