I started blogging as a way to reinvent my original thought process, and write about the way I viewed the world. I started An Aryiel View, first and foremost, for myself.
When “Being Me” Started Having an Impact...
What I didn’t realize was how many other single mothers out there had also lost their sense of self. Lost touch with what it felt like to be themselves first, and mothers second.
These were women who, like me, had lost their grasp on the things that brought them joy and fulfillment.
People started reaching out for advice, guidance, and wisdom.
Finally, I was starting to recognize how valuable An Aryiel View could be - not just for me - but for other moms too.
Looking Back From Where I Stand Today...
At 23, I would never have guessed that my first child would be born in Springfield, MO on Christmas morning - while listening to Tupac Shakur’s Hail Mary
Today, I don’t claim to have a perfect life. I don’t claim to have found all the answers.
I do know though, that I have learned to laugh at misfortunes that land on my plate, roll with life’s punches, write about my experiences, and yes, gain perspective - all while teaching others to do the same.
Today, I am looking at views I never could have dreamed of, helping other moms, and I’m excited to share these perspectives and ideas with you.
Summary of Parts I and II: In part one of this series, Aryiel shares how she was pushed to be more than she could ever imagine, and in part two, she shares how she reconnected with her sense of self.
