Sometimes no news isn't always a bad thing... I guess

I have really been dealing with not finding a job but lately it has been wearing on me a little more than normal.  Then, I thought about it.  It is mid-March 2013 and in this year alone I have:

                                   Started playing the guitar (something I wanted to do for a long time)
                                                            Been in not one, but two movies
                                                                         Joined the gym
                                                    Finished up a master's certificate program 

                             Added a beautiful new international member to our family from New Zealand

                                                                     Began writing a song

                                                      Began research for a possible book idea

I have found myself in the predicament where I constantly am on Facebook and out of consideration for those friends who could careless about my life and what's going on there, I decided to utilize this blog I created 4 years ago.  Hopefully, I will get some followers. So, if you are reading this, please follow my blog!!!  Thanks so much!!  xox

                  

Why am I Jill?

Well, this is the first blog.  I thought the idea of a blog about everything and nothing at the same time would be a really perfect way to express who I am, really.  All about everything and at the same time, nothing really.  Those who know and love me can attest that I can teach you Spanish, give you an exchange student, take your portrait,  cut your hair, and sell you a house all while trying to sell you some product or service.  I love to do it all.  This is an awesome thing about me but at the same time, it sucks.
While being off the charts ADD, I found out that I possibly have a mild case of Asperger's syndrome. Great, one more thing??, was my first thought. But it turns out that this, while an autism spectrum disorder, can really make me a neat, eclectic person. It also means that I am not a flake or whatever other label people like to use when people like me fail to perform to their standards.  Cool thing is that it really helped me to see and understand why I am the way I am sometimes.  It kind of explains my "Jill of all trades" theme.  It also explains my "tell you like it is" and lack of empathy attitude, and the reason I don't get really excited about anything.
I have always been a firm believer that the obstacles in life should not define you but rather, you should use those things to fight harder, go further, and to be a better person because you have to face adversity.  I bid you all a wonderful day!  I am super excited to develop this blog and share my life with y'all! xox
