Hello?
I'm so very glad you decided to stop in. Grab something you like to drink and let me tell you a little story of how I got here. I became a nurse (LPN) in 1997. I was already a wife and a mother as well as a full time nurse in a wide variety of settings (hospital, clinic, rehab, PTSD, chiropractic). Some of these stories are from those years.
As all of my children left home, I felt the need to take on yet another challenge - I went back to school for my Registered nurse license and then for a master's degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Life was busy and stressful. Then my marriage of 28 years crumbled in front of me. I have always written as a way to process whatever is going on at any given time, but as my entire life and everything I knew was turned upside down, it was the only way I was able to work through it.
I began to take the everyday challenges, emotions and situations and step back to evaluate them as if watching them through a different lense. I also realized that for each player in any given story, there are as many different perspectives. This is only one; mine.
About how I arrived at the name, The Pause Between Breaths? Well, you will need to read the first entry for that answer. I had a different blog page but lost it and all the contents. I am adding them back in here as well as entering new posts, just to keep you guessing. Enough about me......
How did you get here? I don't know that I can answer that, but while you are here stay as long as you'd like. I hope you find a little break from all the "noise" for just a moment here at The Pause Between Breaths.
