Welcome to My Blog!

Hello everyone! I’m excited to start this journey into blogging and I appreciate your patience as I find my voice. I’m eager for your feedback, and I hope we can support each other along the way.

Today, I want to reflect on the importance of work-life balance—a topic close to my heart. Over the years, I’ve often sacrificed personal time for work, leading to days filled with stress and a reluctance to engage with those I love when I got home. Thankfully, I have an incredibly understanding husband who listens to me vent about my day without judgment.

This is my second marriage, and both of us came into it with three kids each from our previous relationships. My husband worked in healthcare with surgical teams, and his hours were grueling, especially during holidays and special occasions. With six children to care for, vacations were a rarity, and our budget often stretched thin.

Through this experience, I’ve learned that finding a career with flexibility is essential. I know that’s easier said than done, particularly for those who may not have had exposure to various educational opportunities. I’ve faced those challenges myself, but I was fortunate to pursue higher education later in life, which has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

I hope I was not alone as I faced those barriers, and I look forward to hearing your stories as well. Let’s connect and support each other in finding that elusive work-life balance!
