Everyone must start somewhere

I had no idea how easy it would be to start my own blog!



I want to use this tool to tackle a summer project. This summer I will chronicle the life of our service foster dog "Oakley". She will be the subject of most of my posts here as I attempt to craft a worthwhile "read" about her journey to become a service dog to a child with disabilities.



I am not a writer but seem to be surrounded by them and feel inspired to write her story. The organization responsible for Oakley and her training, 4 Paws for Ability, deserves some recognition and I hope to help them gain some exposure as well.



I am a 42 year old homeschool mom (4 children) and wife. I really don't need to add another thing to our busy life but hopefully this will be a theraputic "thing". I should probably warn that although I want to focus on Oakley and our experience fostering future Service dogs, other parts of our life will creep into my posts such as faith, homeschooling, raising teens, health and fitness, marriage, politics etc.

Whether writing about Oakley or the other nuances of my life I hope to just become better as a writer and communicator.
