Intro

 I  did say I don't know where to start. I'm so clueless I forgot to introduce myself. I'm 46 and I normally work in retail but I'm currently looking for a job. I've been living out of several vehicles for the last nine years. I know it's considered homeless but I don't see it that way. I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back and I'm not going hungry. I also have the ability to keep Luna, my service dog. She's not doing a lot of work at eleven years old but she's been with me since she was nine weeks.  In July of 2014 I came to live in Massachusetts. During my time here I was beaten, my child ripped away from me and kicked out in the street. I stay in a place I don't belong because my son is here. It's not fair to him that he's stuck living with drug addiction and mental health issues while I live my best life. As long as his father is lucky enough to keep custody I''ll stay for him.  Where I stand right now is waiting ...

I still don't know where to start

 I've tried to start a blog several times and I still don't know where to start. I've been encouraged to do this by a few people because, according to them, I'm someone the world wants to listen to. I worry about sharing too much and to be honest, I feel I'm not in love with myself enough to do anything more than Facebook.  What I hope to accomplish with a blog is telling my story without over sharing and talk about how I came to be here. I'm a survivor of domestic violence, I love classic movies, knitting, all things vintage,and everything Mary Kay. I also want to talk about my minivan and what it's like to call it home. I didn't want the car camping life but here I am living it. I work in retail but at the moment I'm looking for a job. I'm stuck in Massachusetts because of my son and where I want to be is Kentucky, where my family is.  The first entry is done. I hope. Now to keep it up.
