I grew up on a farm in central Minnesota, lived a very middle-class childhood, having moved several times - my ability to adapt was tested. As a middle child, I was both a little rebellious and also the peacekeeper, with a social and sunny disposition. I chased dreams, boys, anything that captured my attention, but often fleeting. That continued beyond childhood, as I tried just hard enough in college to get straight A's, as I sought the bad boys and partied my way to the point I can hardly believe I'm a functioning adult today. After entering corporate life, post-college, I bounced around chasing promotions and opportunities, with a competitive spirit.
Shortly after college, I met an honest, kind, family focused man that would become my husband. He was opposite of the bad boy, rebels. He felt safe and a great person to have children with. We had two amazing sons together that are the light of my life. They are creative, self-assured, athletic, free-thinkers, resilient, funny and so much more. I am so grateful I get to be their mom. Looking back, those early years as a mom felt a little foggy. While I wouldn't trade those years for anything, I wasn't myself. I was tame, living the life society told me I wanted but I was different.
After more than a decade with my husband, the call for something more got too loud to ignore. The big D was in my future, and I don't mean Dallas. Going through a divorce was painful in many ways, at the same time gave me hope that I could curate my life as was intended for me. I moved out of my home and started a new life, only a few miles away from where my ex still resides. We have a civil co-parenting relationship and my boys took it all with more maturity than I expected. My next chapter is where it gets really exciting!
The last several years I have found myself - that bright eyed rebel - not giving a F**K what people think and doing ME. While I have a plethora of responsibilities, like everyone, I consciously choose vibrancy in my life that is authentic to my core values and beliefs. I am a better parent, friend, daughter, sister, lover, and overall better person living my life unscripted. I refuse to be average, that is not my story and it isn't yours.
