Staying Unstuck...moving to a different "space"

Boy...ErikaUnstuck was STUCK! In more ways than one.

I was literally stuck in my house because of what will now be known as The Great Ice Storm of '14 and I was stuck because...well, that's just how I get sometimes.

                      Q:  What do we do when we get "stuck" in a situation?

                             A:  We make the necessary adjustments.

I swear, I must have a tinge of OCD when it comes to certain things. One of those is how things look and the voice or tone in which I want to say them. I have a bit of a sassy side and I find can't talk about Fibromyalgia and Genealogy with the same voice. Fibro seems serious and somber and while my family history includes a bit of that trait, (thanks to my Scottish side) genealogy is fun for me.

                 Fibro, not so much.

I want to be able to share what I learn about both of those things - because I'm passionate about them - just not in the same space. So, I've made the decision to split them up into two separate blogs. I share about living and thriving with chronic pain at www.erikaunstuck.blogspot.com.

This is my new blog space and it's all about digging into the histories and mysteries of different people in my family tree. I love history and writing about it so I'll be posting some random facts and information as I discover new things.

I'll also include tips, resources and any shortcuts I find just in case you're inspired to poke around your own family's history. Who knows, we might be related somehow.

                                   Ahhh...this already feels better.

Thanks for the patience friends. I can't wait to share stuff with you!
