How this blog came to be ...

My husband and I lost our primary income and spent 20 months without our income.  Many times the idea of writing a blog came to mind but I was working a lot of hours and not sure how to even get the word out about the blog, so I had pushed the idea aside.  So recently, when I saw an opportunity to get the word out about the blog, I decided to go for it. 

I have often felt like, we as women, hide our emotions and feelings from others out of fear of judgement or other reasons.  But I know that I have greatly benefited from the stories others have shared with me.  I know I would have benefited from a resource like this.  I hated feeling alone so I hope when you read this blog, you will know ... you are NOT alone.  Together we can be stronger than alone.
