Hellooooo world! Meet Mitzi!

This is me. Not the old me, the new me. I think I kind of lost myself for the past little while, but its way past time for my reappearance. So I figured while I'm taking the time to find myself again, I might as well find a new/improved/better me.

Hummm, what do I want the new me to be like?

• A girl that isn’t so scared...
• Someone full of goals and ambitions...
• A person who can do something for just herself and love every minute of it...
• Someone that laughs out loud (often and annoyingly loud)...
• Someone that stands up for herself...

Don't call me lame for quoting Dr. Laura, but I listen to her radio show whenever I can. I think I like her so much because a lot of her strong personality traits are my weaknesses. Do you think Dr. Laura needs validation? I don't think so. She's a woman, hear her roar! I'm just a girl that sounds more like a squeak. Anyway, she said on her program that we are the architects to our own lives and we can really build whatever we want. We can be who we want and do whatever our hearts desire and at the end of the day if we don't like who we have become, we have the power to erase the blueprints and draw up some new ones for tomorrow.

The new me is taking some risks for MYSELF (well and my little family). There is no reward without risks, so here I go. I’m going to risk it up. Risky, risk risk. I decided I am not going to just sit and watch Chris fight through this school situation by himself day after day. I can help us. No matter how vulnerable or nervous it makes me, I want to help out our little family. I want to grow, stretch my mind, and do a few things that I can feel good about at the end of the day. Old Mitzi, meet entrepreneur Mitzi. Call it a quarter life crisis, but la-de-da, it's a dang good one!

It feels good to write my thoughts down again and think. I hope I (we) like who I find at the end. This might be a little scary, but a whole lotta fun!

Bare with me, and I beg you to stick around to see where I end up. I’m curious myself.

Why am I all of a sudden singing Bon Jovi? "It’s my life, it’s now or never. I aint gunna live forever…"
