Personal Bio
I am 48 yrs old, mother of one and "Mom2" to three more (we don't use the "step" word in our family), and Nana to six of the most adorable, funniest, wonderful grandchildren a woman could ask for. I have wondered my entire life why I was different than everyone else I knew. When I was growing up my aunt used to tell me I was an "old soul". I never understood what she meant and when I asked she would just say "When the time is right you will understand." Well it took long enough that's for sure. It was hard growing up in a divided family. Mom and her husband were Catholic, and Daddy and his wife were Southern Baptist. So one side says you're damned to hell from birth no matter how hard you try and other side says you can do whatever you want no matter how bad it is as long as you come tell me all the dirty little details once a week you can still cross the pearly gates. Don't get me wrong I'm not bashing Christianity or organized religion but I knew at a very early age that it wasn't what I felt or believed or however you want to say it. I would sit in services on Sunday with one parent or the other and even at five and six years old I knew that what I was hearing wasn't the way "I remembered it", and well apparently that was what my aunt meant by old soul. I just wish she would have explained it to me instead of leaving me to find my path on my own because this path of mine feels so old and unused it's grown over with weeds and sticker bushes and its really hard to follow sometimes.
