Hi! Welcome, welcome! Really excited to have you here! I decided to do a 31 day blogging challenge I saw on Pinterest to help you get to know me a little better.
Day 1 – Introduction
My name is Kelley Brandle, I am so happy to be starting this blog, I’m loving it. I work full time as a computer technical specialist at a school corporation. There, I fix basically anything that plugs in a wall or runs on batteries, but my main job is supporting teachers in my buildings (3 schools) with computer/printer/projector/electronic trouble. I really enjoy the laid back environment. Compared to corporate, there is a much more relaxed atmosphere. Yes, it is very political, but I will take that over the high pressure of deadlines and profits. I love what I do. I LOVE technology and I’m good at it, so I love that I get to help others with this everyday. I would be doing something related to technology if I weren’t there.
I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 13 years, we have made it through high school, college and a whole heck of a lot. We have three kids, Trae (4), Lyla (7) and Drew (8). Yes, I have my hands full, but I had them close together with the mentality of it’s kind of like a band aid, you just rip it off and get it all over with at once. I have heard both schools of thought, spread them out is easier, have them close together is easier. I think both have their advantages and disadvantages. The beginning years were tough. I don’t say that lightly either, they were the hardest years of my life, which led me to the journey that I started several years ago and to this blog. So as horrendous as it was, I’m grateful for it all. Now, as my kids are getting older, I am really enjoying doing things with them and love their personalities.
I recently wrote a post about Why I started a blog, so you can read more about WHY I am here.
Who am I really? I am a girl, trying to find my place in this world. Over the past couple of years, I have been searching for the best version of me. After three kids so close together, I completely lost myself. I was angry, depressed, and a version of myself I couldn’t recognize. I was desperate. So I started working with a coach. I never thought I’d be the type of person to hire a coach. I mean, who am I but just a normal person working and living my life. I will NEVER regret that decision.
She helped me learn how to love myself, to see that I am worth so much, worth dreaming. I have a vision for my life, and I am more than hopeful for the future, I anticipate it to be amazing. I am no longer stuck on the hamster wheel of life, going through the motions. I am living. Each day I am becoming and believing more and more into the woman that I know I can be, and am already “AM” inside. I am empowered and excited to see what the future brings.
