Well... Here I am.. Again

Image
It's been AGES since I took out my laptop and starting typing on a blog. That's so early 2010's of me. So much has happened since the last time I was constantly telling my life story. There will be time for us to catch up on that. I do remember why I started writing about my life. It was a way for me to cope with all that I had to deal with at the time plus major depression. If you remember, Big Al (my son) and Little Al (my youngest) both were in Early Intervention while my then husband was in the USMC. I had the whole weight of the shoulders and I wrote about it to let it all out! I met a ton of amazing folks along the way. I met mom bloggers, weight watcher bloggers and a TON of runners! Writing helped me build community in The Bronx. Fast forward to today, I live in Beacon and work in Manhattan. I need to rebuild my community. I have been here for five years and I have pockets of people in this area that I pretty much see seasonally. I know me and I need community to be...

Deciding To Move To Beacon

 Honestly, I never thought I would ever leave The Bronx. My family moved to The Bronx when I was five years old. My mom and dad had lived in Brooklyn forever! The were able to get an apartment from the MBD apartment lottery in the first wave of fixing up the Burning Bronx. Being five years ago, it wasn't a big change.

The new apartment in The Bronx was a castle compared to that apartment.  I have been known to move from place to place to place in The Bronx. However, my last 12 years in The Bronx I lived on the same block on Belmont Ave. Two different apartments but still the same block.

Remember When....

Image
 Remember when I used to be a mom blogger and weigh loss journey blogger. That feels like that happen a million years ago. Blogging as so popular in 2010. It was really the thing to done. I stopped blogging in 2016 after my first separation from my ex-husband. I really closed my life down, away for anything public. I didn't want to give him fuel for anything.  I had a great rhythm with my blogging. It was like a homework assignment that I gave myself. When I stopped I lost my domain and lost all of my posts. I really pour myself into blogging. It really helped me cope with having two special needs children and it helping get to my one and only marathon finish line.  Here we are in 2024....and I think its time to start writing about my life again. So much has happened since I closed up the blog shop. Currently, I am deal with major depression. As much as I have my key people in my life, I still feel very much alone in my journey. I know that no one is going to save me. In ...
