As a mother to young children, the majority of movies I see are animated, musical and often have a talking animal sidekick. I know so many can relate to this. The most recent film was the movie LEAP, where a skinny little red headed orphan dreams of becoming a famous dancer. I have a 5-year old skinny little brown haired daughter who shares in that dream (at least when she’s not dreaming of being a mermaid). The movie was cute, the soundtrack quickly purchased and permanently requested during every single car ride (to the utter dismay of my 2 year old son).

This blog has been on my mind frequently and I kept making excuses to start. One of which was the name. Last night as I was driving home from a friends house this song randomly popped up in my playlist- and the lyrics hit me hard.

My life has always been an open book. I love to talk so given the opportunity I’m willing to bear my soul to anyone who feigns the slightest interest. This was easy because I had a fabulous life and beyond the never ending demand of laundry, a busy husband, and teething toddlers I had nothing to complain about. Just over a year ago my happy-go-lucky life began to teeter and on January 20, 2017 it came crashing down. The storm has continued to rage on for the last 11 months, and still no blue sky is in sight. This is my story and my search for the rainbow.
