Hello! My name is Karen and welcome! I’m a mom to two young men. I’ve been married to the same wonderful, patient, thoughtful and generous man (Kevin) for 35 years.
I used to work full time in a healthcare clinic (12 years) before moving to the precertification dept and work from home now – it’s my “day” job. I squeeze in family time and blogging in between all of that. (Okay, I really spend the majority of my “down” time watching gamers on Rumble or searching writing-related content).
We converted a cargo trailer into a camper and I guess we’re campers now! (Since going on cruises was put on hold because of the COVID crap).
I graduated from college with a B.S in Technical Writing – so I’m a wordy know-it-all, as well as a minor in creative writing – so don’t always believe what I write. *wink*
I believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Writing Well. (I also believe in our Constitution – Don’t Tread on my Rights, Yo).
I can be snark-a-licious, but only when provoked or when confronted with ignorant, ill-informed knuckleheads.
I’ve been blogging (on and off, mostly off) for…. how many years…? (I’ve lost track, quite honestly).
I also have a lot to say about nothing.
Brace yourself.
Philosophically, I’d say “Never”. But that is unrealistic. It IS ok to quit sometimes. I quit my job to get married, move to Oregon and take care of my kids. That was ok to do. Some say it was a good thing to do. It’s also ok to quit offering and trying to help someone who is refusing your help, especially when the emotional toll on you is so high it’s affecting other parts of your life. You cannot save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. So, it’s ok to quit. And it’s ok to quit smoking, to quit drinking, to quit eating junk food, to quit eating meat, to quit drinking caffeine, etc.
Whether or not it’s ok to quit is up to the individual. And it’s ok to quit, sometimes.
