WELCOME!
Hello and welcome to my blog!
I never really thought about starting a blog much before recently, I mean … what did I have to say or offer that would have anything of value?
I love writing about things that matter and are important to me – things like genealogy and travel.
I can speak to topics such as coming up through the lower ranks of the social financial system, being a teen mom, being an empty nester at 42, highlight some trials, tribulations and exaltations and about how I created a life for myself that I am happy with beyond measure.
It wasn’t much before a friend of mine said “you should write a book” that I gave some serious consideration to blogging, and now based on my life experiences I am in the process of writing my first manuscript.
I welcome your comments, questions and ideas about what you’d like to chat about.
Namaste, T xo

On Genealogy: My Irish ‘Patrick James Mullen’ Eyes are Smiling
I’m researching my Irish roots via my 2x grandfather, Patrick James Mullen. My updated DNA origins have provided me with some further insight into my Irish roots. The recent update has really narrowed the percentage of Irish I have in my DNA, my current ethnicity estimate is 6%, but it can range from 0-14%, the range …
