Gwen here. :)  I'm thirty-something & pretty opinionated about a lot of things.  I'm a single mother who's pretty much struggling to survive & I love to write, do artwork, hang out with friends, and hang out with my child and our pets.  I love music ~ especially dance music like you hear in gay bars.  I'm pretty liberal ~ even though I live in the pretty conservative state of Indiana.

Friends & family are what keep me going.  I've had a lot of tough luck as an adult & even as a child.  But a pen pal I used to correspond with told me this:  "What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger."  I firmly believe that.

I believe in karma:  what goes around, comes around.  And I believe that everything happens for a reason.  I believe that fate has brought me to my closest friends, and that I must be strong in myself and not count on anyone else to do what must be done.

Gwen's Blog is my outlet.  It's where I will pour out my emotions, and vent, and tell my side of things.  My beliefs, my values, my day-to-day stuff.  Anything that makes me laugh or cry or scream with rage.  Anything at all that evokes emotion or makes me stop & think.

Why did I start blogging?  Because I can.  I have a voice that deserves to be heard.  Whether you agree with me or not, that doesn't matter.  Everyone in this country is supposed to have freedom of speech.  I am choosing to exercise this freedom in every sense of the word.

This is a lovely picture of some boats.  I have no personal connection with this picture, but isn't it pretty? ;)

That's just wrong!!!
