Blackbird

My blog title's inspiration comes from the song "Blackbird" by The Beatles. I've sort of come to adopt it as a motto when life gets rough (and BOY did mine get rough in 2010!). I've gone from just singing, hoping to fly, to full-on SOARING through life and it's fantastic.


Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Finally, a new beginning!

It's a new start! In the recent (-5 years) past I was forced to shut down and delete my former blog. It was hard and very sad, as my blog was becoming very popular, I was on the way to actually making money on it. I had amazing contests going for great products, I had reviews going, I had TONS of followers. Then in a matter of a few weeks GONE. All of it. It was pretty upsetting to have to delete, forever, all of the hard work and life stories I'd accumulated and shared.

But now... NOW my life has had a new start. I've received a new start for not just my life, but the lives of my sons, and let me tell you: It's FANTASTIC. Not everyone gets a chance at a second take! I know this well, and I cherish my life now and where it will be headed. I've crossed the country, remarried, and revamped my friendships to weed out those who truly weren't my friends. Now I can focus on my REAL friendships and work to make sure I give enough to those. I can also focus on my children and bringing them up properly, and work on making sure my new marriage never goes anywhere near the caverns of doom my last one went down into.

Here's to my life's new start, and my blog's new beginning as well! I hope those of you reading can find some enjoyment once I get this going! I have some grand plans, so stick around!
