Un-edited for most is a scary concept. Most of us prefer to hide behind facades of what we want others to think. That’s actually got to harder than just actually being ourselves. After starting the journey to find myself, not the person I wanted people to see, is when letting go of false masks became easier and liberating and opened doors to reveal the woman I actually have come to love. The woman I was destined to be. For in life there are no coinsidences and we get out of life what we put into it.
So, here I am, Shelly, un-cut, personal, real, and at times, crass, rude, and frustrated.
To define me I guess I would have to say I am:
Married to the man who still makes me want to flirt (with him, of course)! A Mommy to 2 beautiful girls who are as stubborn, enchanting and smart as me! I like to think of myself as an independent woman, but in reality would wither away without the support and love of my husband and girls. Becoming a Mommy gave my life a direction that I was craving and had no idea would be so awesome! I stay at home with my girls and work part-time as a co-owner of an online travel company, Travel The Rockies. I never finished college, I dropped out to be with my husband. I chased a boy and never looked back. I moved to a VERY rural community in Montana 10 years ago against my will, only to fall in love with it . . . crappy grocery store and all. My very best friends are in this town, as is my future! I am a little outspoken, but that’s part of my charm. I don’t hate anyone, just know there are stupid people in the world and you can’t take ignorant out of stupid. I used to be skinny and short and insecure. Now I am chubby and short and realize that insecurity should be left in your 20′s along with popularity contests, clicks, and ill-fitting bras. Listen girls, if you don’t support your boobies now, they will lay down on you later! WAY DOWN!
