Lesley Glenn

Welcome to my blog. My name is Lesley Glenn....I was born Lesley Darnelle Kailani Keao on the island of Oahu. Born and raised Island girl. In 1990 while a flight attendant for Hawaiian Airlines I met the boy of my dreams on a blind date....and now almost 18 years later.....i still share his name. We have/are raising three amazing children, Jordan is 21, Justin is 16 and Jillian is 14. We live in a modest house of suburban nature in the Inland Empire of Corona, CA and currrently house three animals of quirky personalities: Penny, our chinese pug, Sidney, the ever complaining siamese cat and Meow Meow, the let me fall at your feet so you can trip over me, long haired calico.

I have been keeping this blog as a sort of journal for the past 4 years. Its has been a way for me to post whats been going on in the Glenn family and a great record and glimpse back into how our family has grown....

HOWEVER: life took a drastic change for me a year ago, and so I am reinventing my blog and embracing a new course in my life. The blog now is going to take on a new feel, and a new direction.

So let me give you a brief rundown of the things that have made me come full circle this past year:

Two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with the beginning stages of fiber myalgia.
Two years ago, I went back to school full time to finish my BS degree. (I finally graduated on July 31, 2009)
In the midst of this I worked full time as a state preschool teacher, and was actively running around being the mom of a competitive gymnast, and a high school football and baseball player.
I gave up my love for all things creative -
My marriage while good....suffered because of our busyness and lack of attentiveness to our relationship - and one year ago, it almost all came to an end.

This past year has been a year of REFLECTION!

August 4th is the marker of new beginnings, spiritual fullness. Its the day I turn 44 and am going to live out some of my dreams. One of these is this blog...

So welcome to the journey with me .... I hope you will stay connected.
