Hi I’m Doreen – thank you for visiting! I am a mother of two beautiful teen daughters. I am a first grade teacher who had to make some quick adjustments in my teaching style amidst this COVID crisis. I am a breast cancer survivor of 6 years (YAY!) and am healthy and cancer free. Finally, I am a recent divorcee and am working on navigating a new path in life.
Life has thrown me a few curveballs, but I manage to remain optimistic. I find love and inspiration in my family. I share laughs, tears, coffee, and wine (lots of wine) with some amazing friends. I gain strength in support and resiliency. I want to share my experience and life lessons with others… online.
Writing is cathartic and therapeutic; making myself vulnerable and kind of an open book has actually strengthened me. I’ve been told by a few awesome people that I may have a knack so I decided to give it a go.
I am excited to inspire others to find the sweetness when feeling bitter about the crap that may come your way. And let’s face it… we all deal with some crap sometimes! Who wants to be miserable and bitter?
So, laugh with me and learn from me. I’ll share my thoughts, feelings and lessons with you…. I hope you can find some benefit in what I share. Let’s make some lemonade.
