TRAILBLAZER

TRAILBLAZER

What does it mean? There are several different meanings but for me it is…A person who blazes a trail for others to follow through…pathfinder a pioneer…A leader..

So firstly who am I?  And what separates me from the other million bloggers?? And what in the heck makes me think that I am blogging material especially since I just turned 49 years old September 11th? And how did my blogging come into fruition or birthed if you will etc. Well quite honestly those are fantastic questions and so without further ado I will start answering them….So TRAILBLAZER has been explained however I got to be honest with you I am not gonna lie this is definitely “uncharted” territory for me as I am blazing a NEW trail for “myself to follow through” or basically I am “leading myself.” For I am “holding my own hand” and “pulling myself through”. But in all honesty was it uncharted territories? You see I had gotten an amazing birthday gift when I was just 10 years old from my beautiful cousin Kathy (on left)

and my amazing Aunt Mary whom is watching me from above and “attempting” to  keep me in line. lol

Or Aunty M as I so lovingly called her (you know how Dorothy called her Aunt in the wizard of Oz) gave me my first diary which I absolutely loved called the NOTHING book. And side note here I have no idea why it was called the NOTHING book because quite honestly I wrote a lot o somethin somethin in it..HA…And It was the first of 24… I even stepped up my writing game a bit and had two college one’s called The Kitchen Diaries part 1 and Kitchen Diaries part 2.  The diaries were located obviously where? Yes you gots it in the kitchen. The kitchen became notorious for hanging in, in which everyone and anyone could write what they felt at that particular time but that is definitely for a different kinda blog at a later date fo sho. lol Anyway I LOVED writing in my NOTHING book for it literally opened up a portal with in me that I had no idea I had. If only then did I know what I know now, then, if that makes sense, then I would have pursued a career in journalism etc. But there is certainly is no sense in rehashing what could have been…For it is unproductive and a waste of good energy lol. And because the 80’s were such an amazingly different time that offered me so much more that I feel bad that the younger kids will not know. But helz yes I am proud to say I am an 80’s chick for I loved the 80s. I especially loved my flip/brush comb and the Smurfs, chocolate logs and downtown Mystic lol..But we didn’t have all of the techy stuff then that we do now..No we had phone booths and card catalogs (and if you can believe one of my many years younger co-worker had no idea what that was)..lol..So some how some way I got lost in the shuffle and being ADD and dyslexic of course didn’t help like AT ALL lol but nonetheless it is what makes me my unique and VERY eclectic self…Chrissy Botseas I am 49 and I believe that we are all where we are meant to be at this point in time good bad or ugly, I have FAITH and I love Jesus…I believe in principle, taking the time to pay it forward, keeping things simple and when I get strongly convicted of something I cant back down “Houston we have a problem.” I surmise that that comes from the mere fact that I am Greek and through my Ancestry we were considered the mountain men, the first in the line of fire to protect on the Spartan side lol that definitely describes me.. And I am loyal to a fault…And I definitely think way too much…lol But the most important thing here is that I am here now…I finally figured it out and I am also here to say that there is NO time limit or age limit to finding your purpose/passion in this life… Everyone beats to their own drum I know I certainly do and hooray for me I finally figured it out though it truly was staring me in the face all those diaries ago..lol I would get so excited buying my next diary..I remember going to the bookstore downtown Mystic and looking at all the diaries and finally finding the right one at the time that was so exciting feeling the material on the book, the color etc.  Soooo it’s now not later lol but now.. Now it is my time to blog..

With the above hoopla said lol the purpose of my site is to talk about share things that resonate with-in me so deeply and passionately that I hope it does with you too but then again maybe it wont and that is ok. For there is even the possibility that no one will read this and if not that is ok too cuz you know why because I am doing it and bottom line here that is all that matters..Anyway I will also blog about nonsensical stuff basically stuff for just fun and laughs..You will discover that I am notoriously known for wearing my heart on my sleeve. I am extremely sensitive/emotional I cry at the drop of a hat..Especially when Richard Simmons (whom I LOVE by the way) hugs a person and tells them how beautiful they are..For I will admit that I care WAY too much and I will openly and proudly admit that I have issues lol..But again I am not lying for I do cry at the drop of a hat…So much so that my siblings coined me “Cry Baby Chrissy”..Yes I am THAT person…lol

OK so let’s finally get to it shall we…Here she is my raging beauty…My VERY first diary…Drum roll paaaallleazzzeee….introducing THE NOTHING BOOK…Aint she purdy…

Ok not so bad for my VERY first blog…For you got to know a tad bout me and the type of material or substance that I will blog about…And with that said my next blog will be about whatever it tis that speaks to me in tongues…lol Chants to me, calls to me, or possibly haunts me lol…Until next time….over and out..
