Finding beauty in the ordinary.

I’m starting this blog for a few reasons. First and foremost to get these thoughts that I have written down. Maybe it will help me and maybe it will help others. It might just be a place for my terrible writing and grammar! 

Let me give you all a bit of a breakdown of who I am. My name is Jacqueline Kelly. I’m a single Army mom with 3 cats (not the crazy cat lady YET) and a blue heeler. My son left for the army almost 5 years ago. Since then, I have surrounded myself with plants and critters. I love to draw, spin yarn, make random things.

To say I had hard time after my son went to the army is probably an understatement. It was the first time in my life where I was alone. Just me in an empty apartment and my best bud was away. I had some major struggles.

Let’s skip to the good part…. I went to therapy, decided to take medication, bought a house, got the dog, cats and boom life is great. Hahahahaha.

Lol, yes all that is true but the boom life is great. Life is good. Not perfect, it’s real hard but I’m learning the tools to help me handle it differently. 

The other reason I’m starting this blog thing, is to promote mental health awareness. I am not a professional at all. Like ZERO!! High school diploma and life. All the knowledge I have to share (knowledge !!! That’s funny) is life. My life experiences is my education. We learn from our mistakes and we see what works. So I want to share that. 

So, if I can figure out all the things on this platform, I plan to share my art, share pictures of my crazy critters, and plants. I’m also gonna promote my t-shirts.
