Did you know?

In an effort to be transparent and honest as well as to share with you a little bite more about me, I came up with a list of things to share.  I'm guessing many of my readers may not know some of these things, in fact, when I started to really think about this list, some of them took me by surprise as well.

Did you know that . . . . . . . .

·         Fall is my favorite time of the season because I love the cool, crisp air and cuddling

·         Meeting new people scares the crap out of me

·         I have trust issues that I struggle to fix

·         Food fills my emotional voids

·         The sound of rain and faint thunder calms, relaxes and makes me happy beyond belief

·         Hard cries scare me because I'm afraid I won't be able to stop

·         I have problems with control and anxiety that I'm trying to let go of

·         Helping other people brings me great joy

·         I love paranormal movies that make me jump, even if I have to close my eyes and hide under the blanket

·         I often wonder why people like me and don't get when people want to spend time  with me

·         Winter blues plague me almost every March

·         I thank God every day that I have the privilege of being a Mother

·         I'm an expert avoider, just ask my husband

·         I'm more broken than I like to admit, but am coming to terms with it and learning what I need to be unbroken

·         My biggest fear is losing Belle and/or Paul

·         I dislike failing yet I hold back because my fear of succeeding is larger than my dislike of failing

·         Mondays are hard for me, if I could skip them I would, in fact I'm convinced I'll die on a Monday

·         I LOVE to cook and hope to have a "Dream" kitchen one day, when I'm done with school I'd like to take cooking classes

·         If I ever win the lottery or strike it rich, I'd set up a non-profit organization to help parents of stillborn children/infant death pay for unexpected expenses life funerals, headstones, burial, counceling, etc

·         Driving over bridges scares me so I have to close my eyes, which becomes an issue when I'm driving

·         Turns out, I actually do like working out, who knew!?!?!?!

·         I've learned to embrace my size and what I can do instead of being ashamed, I like that  I prove that a "big girl" can be a triathlete too

·         I am TERRIFIED of spiders, they make me scream like a little girl

·         I'm not a huge fan of surprises

So now you know a little bit more about me, what about you?  What’s something I might not know that you are willing to share?
