My Butterfly Mind

I have been thinking for some time that I would like to have a go at writing a blog. Just somewhere to put my ideas and thoughts and some of the things I create. I do this for myself, but if anyone else reads it and it helps in any way, then that's good. Anyway, here goes...

First of all, why 'Butterfly Mind'? Well, when I was little my Dad always said I had a butterfly mind because I could never concentrate on one thing or stay still for very long. I was always on the go, got bored easily and chopped and changed from one activity to another or from one thought to the next, just like a butterfly going from flower to flower. That was when I was young, not much has changed! Apart from the fact that I am much older and a bit slower, but certainly my thoughts leap around with no 'mirror, signal, manoeuvre' warning for anyone trying to follow.

So, what do I do?

I am:-

• a mother of three gorgeous children - mostly grown up now
• a wife of a very long suffering and patient husband
• a Christian who doesn't like being too religious
• a teacher by profession, although I don't  teach at the moment
• a crafter who is a 'jack of all trades and master of none' because I have had a go at so many things over the years, but never patient enough to stick with anything to get any good at it
• a dancer when no one is looking and a singer when no one is listening.

I am passionate about:-

• my family
• spreading God's word in a fun, interactive way
• helping children who struggle with school and schools who struggle with some children
• being creative in all I do

So I guess I will be blogging about some of the stuff that turns up in my chaotic butterfly mind.
