So when I first started this blog is was a fun novel thing
to do, it was the “in” thing to do with respect to social media. Well for me it
evolved into a number of things.

First, I have met some amazing people who have provided
incredible advise over the years some of which has helped me in more ways than
I can explain.

Second, it has allowed me to express myself without fear. Sure I make typos and grammatical errors, but never was I being judged. I wasable to release my thoughts without “seeing” someone's reaction and that felt
freeing to me.

As some of you may know I lost my mom in August to cancer,
it was rather quick and an intense time in my life. It opened a Pandora’s box
of sorts with respect to my feelings and emotions about my mom and our
relationship. I have toyed (only in my head) with the idea of writing a
book. I have a title already

of sorts with respect to my feelings and emotions about my mom and our
relationship. I have toyed (only in my head) with the idea of writing a
book. I have a title already
“A mothers love….the good, the bad and the ugly”
I want to write this as a way to get all my feelings out and express them my way instead
of the way I have for so many years which is to bottle it up. Don’t ask me where I will find time; I consistently take on way too much at one time. However, I think this is something I just need to
do. The “book" may never see the light of day but it may be the therapy the Dr ordered.

Yes! Do it!! Stephanie, it is totally amazing that you would write this today. First off, I've been waiting for you to blog again...so yeah! Secondly, I will buy the book so you already have one sale. Third, indie publishing is HUGE right now with e-books on the market. I'm writing a book too. I haven't written a word in two months but I will get back to it eventually. When I got a kindle, it opened my eyes up to the world of indie publishing. I've read the stuff about your mom and to be honest it just makes me cry b/c I totally get it. And now that my mom is gone, there is so much analyzing what happened there with that relationship. Anyway, YES to the book!
Exciting!!! I say DO IT. I just finished reading Two Kisses For Maddy by the famous blogger Matt Logelin and it was such a beautiful story! My sister has terminal cancer and is expected to die soon. Reading this book has opened my eyes to the possibility of taking something tragic like a loss and turning it into a beautiful book!
I say go for it, and even if you never publish it at least you wrote it!!
I lost my mom last December. It was sad but a relief as well. Where she is now, she is dancing in the sunlight! no more wheelchairs.
I'm commenting here from my mom's blog. She has about 90 very very short vignettes from her childhood. My editing was pretty slap dash but at least its online...
Same here, writing or expressing our thoughts and sentiments was very therapeutic. We got the freedom and our voice got to be heard =)
