*So It Begins*

Starting a new blog is always hard for me.
(And I've started many).

But this is my newest project.
Hopefully I'll be able to maintain this blog as I explore where I've been,
validate what I'm doing now and outline some kind of plan towards 
where I'm heading, of which at this point, I have no idea where that is.


Guess I'll start by listing a few things about me.
I'm 58 years old, my birthday is December 24th.
I walk strong alongside Jesus but don't adhere to man-made religion.

I'm divorced, married twice and I have 5 children -
one which left us to be with God by way of taking his own life 
on November, 10th 2006, he is the oldest of my children and was 27.
I have three grandchildren, no pets, (wish I did), 
and I am currently not working.
I'm chef by trade but can no longer work in that field.

I spend too much time on Facebook.
Am addicted to Sims 2 - but only 2, not interested in Sims 3 or 4.
I'm artistic, crafty and I'm writer - written one book.

I have my share of labels -
PTSD, Complicated Grief, Major Depression, Panic Disorder
and slight Agoraphobia - I refuse to take meds for any of it.

I've been homeless quite a few times.
Lived in my car for the entire summer of 2012 and a few times
before then - also lived in a few shelters.
I am an advocate for the Homeless and have a Facebook 
group called "Project Homeless" and a blog with the same title.
I LOVE where I live - Seattle, Washington 
and can't imagine living anywhere else with the exception of Oregon.
Got to have trees and a beach!

Neah Bay, Washington
One of my favorite places in the whole world.
I detest cruelty towards any living thing -
and yes, that even includes people.
I hate litterbugs, idiots with guns, drunks, standing in line, 
summer, materialistic gluttony, Kevin Costner, clams, trophy hunting,
chick flicks, profanity, apathy, mushrooms, Rap music,
 indifference towards the poor, Facebook memes that order me to share,
and the list could go on an on, (but I don't want to come off negative).

I have a very sarcastic sense of humor 
and am basically sarcastic most of the time which annoys just about
 everyone I know, especially my shrink.
