The first one....

I turned 50 in 2019 and it seems that my life took a flip. Hi, my name is Vicki I am starting a blog about being 50 and the changes that it brings. In 2019, I decided to run my second marathon and needed something to get me through the training runs so I started listening to a running podcast that has changed my life. Before that I really didn’t know much about what a blog was or a podcast for that matter. I am social, in life and on social media but this was a new avenue for me. This year, COVID 19 changed my life. I was stuck in my house for the first time in my life! I am always on the move but in March I wasn’t able to do ANYTHING! A lot happened to me in the three months I worked from home. Good and bad. I rediscovered myself but only after I hit rock bottom.

So here I am, writing about myself and sharing with whomever might want to read what I have to say. Here is a little about me. I am married – 28 years this coming January. I have a daughter and a son. Both my kids live in Arizona. My daughter is divorced and has two adorable boys and my son just got married in July. I have a houseful of pets – 3 dogs and 2 cats. My youngest fur baby is a COVID puppy! He is the light of my life! You will hear A LOT about him. I work full time for a management company in downtown Chicago and I’ve been with the company for 28 years. My husband works for the city and will be retiring in January. He’s been with the city 29 years. I am also a Thirty-One Gifts consultant.

So welcome to my blog and for hanging out with me.
