We'll never get to choose all of the eggs that land in our basket. Occasionally, they even come to us already cracked. But sometimes, changing our outcome only requires a change in our perspective.
- The Sunny Mom Hi! My name is Katie and I haven't done anything with this website in 5 years. The reason I started it ended in 2017. I renamed and repurposed it in 2018. Then went through a separation and divorce in 2019. I've changed jobs a few times. I've bought my first house. I've lost a beloved cat and gained a few new ones. My kids are no longer in diapers and now have their own phones and new friends. What I'm saying is... a lot has changed, but like an old friend, this place still exists and I still have an urge to write. Over the years, I never could bring myself to cancel my website domain because in the back of my mind I knew it still had a place in my life. Just not at that moment. In fact, when I first logged back in here 10 minutes ago, I wasn't even certain this was the right thing to do, but the old me wrote that quote above and it still speaks to the current me. I think that says something about the purpose of this site. So, here we are at the beginning of 2024. I'm going to pick up exactly where I am. I'm not going to even pretend like I'll be able to reflect on all that time, or give details of what happened or what led to me just walking away, but occasionally you may read a story that fills in a gap. I have less free time now than I've ever had in my life, but something just feels like now is the right time to revive this website. If you've stumbled across this page, thanks for visiting and start with Sunshine and Cupcakes. |
