Jill of all trades? Yes, that's me!

What's all this Jack of all trades mess? I am definitely not a Jack, so I suppose that makes me a Jill. I love my eclectic life and I thought a blog about everything but really nothing at all could be cool. Let's see how it goes... Enjoy!

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
