Hello and welcome or what is this chick planning to do....

Hello world.  Okay, so I am a little on the slow side to start this whole blogger thingy but I felt the need to start writing again. 

I have a degree in English and Theatre thereby spending  most of my academic years writing.  Somehow though between life, travels, adulthood, parenthood, and various other distractions, I stopped writing. 

Now as a late in life parent, as a  halfway through my life person, teacher, costumer, and generally over-committed and stressed person (by my own choices, mind you), I feel that I just might have something to share.

Follow me if you want or not, I will use this space to make observations on my life and the surrounding world.  I may list tips that I have learned and wish to share.  I may rant and I may joke.  Oddly, those two things seem to walk hand and hand often.  I will brag about my children and bemoan my disappointments.  I will count my blessings and possible curse my daily frustrations.

My blog title comes from a period in my life that I had a male boss who had difficulty having a female manager under him.  He chose to call me Rocky as opposed to my actual name or other monikers.  I was not insulted but rather felt empowered.  I like the nickname and all the references that it makes.  I can hear the movie theme often when someone uses it still.  However, I do not think that I will be running up the steps in Philadelphia any time soon though. 

The peek comes from the feeling of being on a mountain looking down and all around at my life. I have been quite blessed to have varied opportunities in my life.  I have made my living performing, traveled all over the United States, a little in Europe and Mexico, gotten married, given birth twice, befriended many wonderful people, have good DNA and health, and so many other moments that I cannot remember.....which is why I feel the need to journal lest I forget.

Come along with me on my journey if you would like. And welcome....let's see what happens.
