I’m Kim. I am a 50 yr. old mother, teacher, social worker, ever questioning Episcopalian/Methodist/seeker, girlfriend, sister, daughter, friend.  I love words, so WordPress invited me in easily with its very name. I live in a small town in NC.  I have many, many children- some I teach, some live in the neighborhood, four are children and grandchildren that live within walking distance of my house, some are former foster children I looked after.  If you want to know something about children, especially ones with mental health issues or developmental disabilities, ask me.

I have Hashimoto’s and RA, but they don’t have me. I love to travel and adore being outdoors on a hike whether with people I love or alone.  I like reading and writing essays about ordinary events in the lives of interesting people.  There’s a book inside of me fighting to come out.  There are also some paintings in there that would like to find themselves on paper.  I also like reading memoirs, eating chocolate, drinking fancy martinis, and reading funny blogs that other people write. Let me know you stopped by, I might stop by your blog too.  I don’t have time to read them all as it is, but it’s like having a big box of chocolates to choose from.
