This project blog...

This is a milestone in my life. This has been a dream and I want to make it happen, so I am doing it now… As one friend told me, if you really want it, do it NOW.

I never knew this blog world until I gave birth to my son, J. I had insatiable thirst for learning and I went on to read anything about babies, breastfeeding, motherhood, parenting and God knows how far my reading has brought me – and there I came across upon blogs of different people, mostly moms, which have inspired me of having one of my own. (I have a multiply site which I started posting some blogs – but never actually sustained it. Well, hoping this one will work this time.)

At first, I thought it would have been nice to have an online journal to document my son’s milestones and everything else about him. But since I keep a regular job (8-5, that is, and sometimes more than time allows) and have “other concerns”, I stalled it, postponed it… deemed not necessary at some point… but there is something in me that really calls for it. (blog, kate… blog) Maybe its motherhood calling? More, I think. As time pass by, becoming a mother was not the only inspiration that brought me to this… but being a wife, a parent, a friend and a woman that is a work-in-progress, have made me come to this point. It has unfolded me as a person into many things and my heart and mind are overflowing and making a journal, I think, is the way to do it. They say that artistic people usually have or keep a journal – am I one? I don’t know. I want to see it through.
I know that there are a lot of other blogs out there and maybe no one will notice or even read my blogs but I know it is a fulfillment of a dream. Its self-accomplishment.

What’s in store in this project blog? Anything I can share to “readers” (wish to have one) about my passion – of becoming a mother, parent, partner, friend and woman – and more.

As I was preparing and setting up my site, I placed this as my blog intro – which I eventually have to delete it (for some “artistic” reasons) and decided on placing it instead in my first post:

LIFE has more to it – with boundless limits and for us to explore and live to its fullest.

I am a wife and mother – it has opened up for me more learnings and opportunities, some with uncertainty but still have to go for it. God made it happen for a reason – not just a good one, but with the best reason, I should not question.

I am a woman – I can be the best person I can be, I know, I will be, each day I will live my life. I know I CAN make it through.

LIFE makes me stronger and wiser…


I am Kate. Let me know what you think (if there’s anyone reading…)
