I dedicate this blog to my mom who coined the phrase, “You’re smart at what you know.” I see this as her loving way of telling me that while I may really be smart in the category of things I’m familiar with, there are many things that I haven’t even begun to know about life. She inspires me to express myself in writing as my life is about to drastically change. My whole world is about to get much larger and I hope that I am able to truthfully tell my story and share the wisdom I gain along the way. What better time to start a blog than in the months leading up to the arrival of my first child!
