Who is Kaci and why is she rambling?

My name is Kaci, if you hadn’t already guessed by the name of the blog. If the name of the blog looks familiar, I’ve had one before over on Blogspot. If you’d like to check it out, you can do so here. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve sat down and visited there. A whole heck of a lot of life has happened since then and I’ve moved quite a few times since then. So new porch, new office, whole new outlook on life….new blog….new starts….so Howdy! Hey y’all! Welcome!

Starting over is something I’ve gotten good at in 47 years. So here I am, rambling once again. It’s something I’ve gotten quite good at, as well.

So who is Kaci?

I am a registered nurse, living kidney donor athlete, cyclist, kayaker, roller skater, hiker, and super nerd who is simply about life’s adventures: travel, fitness, gardening, parenting & grandparenting, working in Organ Transplant, living, and loving!!! I am a nutcase, a fruit loop, one of a kind and I march to the beat of my very own drum. Sometimes it’s more like a mariachi band, but its mine.

I believe in fairy tales and that they do come true, but we do have to work for them. I have instilled that belief into my two beautiful grown children, Austin and Bethanie; and am absolutely relishing in the light that is the love of the fabulous tiny humans that call me Gran.

I believe that joy is outward happiness regardless of inward circumstances. I believe in a loving, wonderful God who loves us so much that He became a man, died for us, and then defeated death and rose again on the third day. Some days I have trouble reconciling that loving God with the humans that He created and I will talk about those struggles, maybe you have them too.

Why is she Rambling???

Why not? I love to write…always have. When I was a little girl I used to make up songs and I would walk around all day singing them to myself. When I was in school, Mrs. Suzanne Parsons instilled a love of English deep into my heart and my most favorite class was high school Journalism. Somewhere out there Martha Ann Conkling and Margaret Payne are thanking their lucky stars that they don’t have Jocelyn and I in their class any longer. (Best teachers ever, really.)

I stopped writing when life got in the way and left it by the wayside. Then, a few years ago, after some serious prodding by my friends, I began writing again. I posted weekly email devotionals to some Women of Faith that I knew. When it was suggested that I write a blog, I transferred much of my email work and began this journey. I left it behind again and again, as ADHDers tend to do, but I need this, I need to write, and I need this outlet to share.

I have encountered what I have heard referred to as “adult onset athleticism.” I only became active in recent years after becoming overweight, divorce, and then perimenopause all had wreaked their own havocs on my body. I NEEDED TO SLEEP!!! I accidentally started losing weight and it became a cycle. I keep doing things to have fun, I keep losing weight. My friends were asking what I was doing and if I could share, so here I am. The easiest place I can think of to share it all.

Thanks for stopping by, come back often and follow me on my adventures!?? Until our next adventure, keep wandering and wondering!! 🌍✨
