My whole life I’ve wanted to write, talk, share, over share and so on down the line. I’m a communicator and much like my father, everything interests me. I’m 38 years old, married and a mother of two beautiful children. I have a full time job as a Senior Manager of Events and Experiential Marketing at Audi of America and I struggle like everyone else trying to figure it all out.
In June of 2010 I lost my father to suicide just four short weeks before I gave birth to my second child, Madison Jeffrey. I’ve been told by a Chinese medicine doctor that she is my healing child. She was brought to me to help my heart heal and that we will always be close. I didn’t know the gender of either of my children until they were born and given the circumstances she came into the world under, it was truly a blessing that I had a daughter.
In November of 2011 I lost my mom to a six year battle with breast cancer that had metastasized to her spine and liver. At the time of writing this section, it has only been about two months since she passed away and the pain seems surreal, as if it belongs to someone else. As I rang in the New Year, I made the promise to myself that I would finally do what I always thought I should…write, talk, share, over share and so on down the line.
We are all humans, we all have experiences in common, we are all just trying to figure it all out. Hope this can help you on your journey. By all means, contribute to the conversation!
