to start

for a while now i have wanted to start a blog to record thoughts on life specifically for my daughter, Charlotte.

since the blog title For Charlotte was already taken, i came up with Surviving Today, Thriving Tomorrow. it fits. i will explain later.

of course i value my sons very much (and they are welcome to read), but after having a daughter was when i thought to do more writing. there are often times during the day when i think "wow, i did not know this." or "wish someone had prepared me for this." also, books have given me insight that i wish i had 10 years ago. i will summarize some of those here.

sure, some things are learned as they are experienced; but i figure i can still give a "heads up." ideally i will teach you as you grow up, but life has a way of going by rather quickly. this may be of interest when you are in college and ready to embark on your own journey.

being a mother is a blessing. a blessing not all have. it is also a special assignment, a time for discipleship. this is part of that attempt: to share with you what i have learned thus far.

i love you Charlotte Grace.
