About Me...

(Updated 7/7/18)
I'm Shawntelligent, creative, mysterious, amorous, and crazy. I am a woman, a wife, a mother, a daughter, sadly an employee, and more. I should be happy I have a job, right! I’m envious of stay at home moms.  (I am now a stay at home mom and have been for the last 8 years.  I have also decided to accomplish my dream of becoming a therapist.  So I am now a graduate student.  See the I'm a Student blog post for more details about that.)   My husband and I have been married for going on 12 years and we have 2 beautiful, smart, and active sons. I love fashion; I have a B.A in Fine Arts, Fashion Design, but for the time being I am retired at sewing and designing, until I finish school, but I will be making a come back.  I love writing and I wanted to start a blog because I've been inspired by so many of the podcast I subscribe to (See my blog list) and listen to on a daily basis, but more so because of a book I read called the Milk Memos (See my Book reviews on the sidebar). Since I'm striving to be a stay at home mom, and a full-time supportive wife (I say full-time because I feel that I'm only part-time because I'm so EXHAUSTED.  (I still feel this way to a certain degree.  However, I now know the importance of taking care of myself.  It is still a process, but my happiness and self esteem takes priority over everything.  It is what my family needs).   My life has been a little stressed. So I have come to the realization that I need more me time, because of this new found epiphany I enrolled myself into belly dancing which I LOVE, but because of life, belly dancing is on pause for now.(I soooo miss belly dancing).  However, I still need MORE me time! What else can I do? How can I express myself and connect with others?

After a little thinking I decided, I know there has to be other women out there that feel the same way I do, and I believe I have useful and entertaining information to share with them and the entire world. I make gorgeous jewelry, dresses, I'm a student, my husband gets on my nerves and is great at the same time, and so does my kids!  I know other people would love to hear about!
