Personal Note – Why Do I Write Here?

Why Do I Write Here? I am at a stage in my life where having meaningful social connections are crucial. It’s like uncovering the hidden layers and discovering what makes people who they are – their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and exploring the why’s behind their actions.

That said, as an “an almost 40-year-old” millennial working mom with young(er) kids, I do not always have time or energy to indulge in long conversations in real life, let alone profound one’s….so most of my “deeper thoughts” are reserved for my Facebook account (yes, I told you I am a millennial!). It is there that I, sometimes, share ordinary things, the regular stuff that happens in life and other times, dive into more meaningful topics, talking about deeper thoughts and reflections that I, as stated before, find very gratifying. Now, since last year or so, every time I posted, my friends remarked on my knack for weaving words together with ease, how I have a “skill” for expressing my thoughts clearly and articulately. And this sprouted the idea of starting a blog, but it remained a well-kept secret in my heart and mind for a while because kids…home…career…husband, life…and all. But now, as I turn 40 in 2024, it is time to spice things up with a midlife crisis upgrade!

Jokes aside, after some nudges from those who believe in the power of my storytelling, I’ve finally decided to take the plunge into the world of blogging. First step was to find a name and what better choice than “NineToMomLife” because while we all may be only working our regular 9 – 5 jobs, our role as a mother and homemaker never ends!

This first post marks the beginning of a new chapter—an exploration into the art of expression and personal growth. I won’t lie – it is both exciting and a touch nerve-wracking, but here I am, ready to share my insights, stories, quotes, information and musings that resonate with me, that helps me, that adds value to my life as a wife, mother and most importantly, a woman. Thru NineToMomLife blog, my vision is to put together daily (ideally!) or weekly (for sure!) stories that celebrates the beauty of the ordinary, helps you find inspiration in the mundane, and attempt to create a space where you can conquer life’s beautiful chaos.
