Who am I? Where am I?

Hi and Welcome to my very first blog posting.  My name is Kathi and I am a single mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend, an employee, a soon to be entrepreneur but these are just labels.  At the age of 48, I have come to realize that I have no idea of who I am beyond these labels.  I am starting this blog to keep track of my journey of self discovery.  Hopefully anyone reading along can chime in with suggestions or maybe just maybe, I can be of some help to anyone out there finding themselves in the same place.

I have 3 sons (ages 26, 23 and 15) and live in South Florida.  I also have a beautiful granddaughter (age 1 1/2) and a wonderful soon to be daughter-in-law.  In a couple of years I will be an empty-nester and am desperately trying to find a new direction for my life when that time comes.

I've been living in South Florida for 2 1/2 years now.  I love, love, love the weather in the winter and the fact that I can wear sandals everyday.  No snow to shovel or drive in (thank goodness, the drivers down here are bad enough without snow added to the mix).  I miss the idea of winter.  I miss sweaters and boots and winter coats.  I miss waking up in the morning to freshly fallen snow covering everything....only if I have the day off though.  Other than that....I love warm weather, year round foliage and palm trees.

I want to send out kudos to two blogs and a beautiful shop that have been inspirational to me and have helped me get in the right state of mind to get this journey started.

Kimberly Wilson - Tranquility du Jour - inspirational podcasts, fabulous blog, two wonderfully written books, a fanstastic, sustainable clothing line.....all to help live a Hip, Tranquil life.

A Guide to Living a Goddess Life - a beautifully illustrated blog and lots of incredible material

My Flora Aura - for anyone in South Florida, a unique shop and spiritual center located in Boca Raton and owned by the lovely Jolie.  Lots of great classes and tasty organic tea to be shared.  Check it out if you live down here.

So we are on our way....hold on tight....let's share lots of laughter, a few tears and all the good, kind thoughts we can come up with. 

Next post....How I Came Up With the Blog Name.

Til next time.....Kathi
