I feel like I should give a little background on the origins of this blog. My grandmother was this awesome little short woman who never really held back about what she thought. She just put it out there and if you agreed with her that was great, if you didn't agree, well that's fine too but don't try to change her mind. She thought what she thought and that was it. Being a little old woman she seemed to be able to get away with it. I loved her more than I could ever put into words. I'm even named for her. She was opinionated, funny, sarcastic and more fun to be around than a barrel of monkeys. Whenever something went terribly wrong in my life, I knew if I could just get to her kitchen and sit with her for a little while everything would be okay.
I've had a lot coming down on me lately and find myself biting my tongue all the time. Not good for me, it feels like a volcano just building up to a huge breaking point. I find myself wishing I could do what my grandmother did, just let loose, say exactly what I think and to hell with political correctness and what anyone else thinks, and so this blog is born.
So hang onto your hats because this is going to be quite a ride. No holding back, nothing is sacred, I'm just going to tell it like I see it. If you agree with me that's great, if you don't that's okay too, but don't try to change my mind, I've had a great teacher!
