ABOUT ME

Hi.  I'm Chelsea and the author behind Ruminations.  I'm an old soul that has always found the stories of other people fascinating.  I've always been interested in trying to see people for all that they are, not just what is surface deep. 

During a period of high anxiety in my life, I wrote a piece about how I personally felt and dealt with my stress.  That piece inspired the name of my blog: Ruminations.

After several of my own challenges, I felt inspired to write The Lonely Road blog series. I hope that this series inspires you to do your own hard things and helps you understand people in a new way.

I have been married for 10 years to an amazing guy and we have two children.  We have experienced difficult times and happy times together.  Motherhood is probably the most difficult thing I've experienced in my short life.  Keep it real mommas!

Besides dabbling in writing, I have many interests.  I LOVE music.  I have an eclectic music taste.  Nearly nothing is off of the table.  From Tim McGraw to Nat King Cole to Jack Johnson to Incubus to Michael Jackson to JTM to the Eagles, I'm a fan of it all. Being outside is also therapeutic for me.  Walking, hiking, and exploring are some of my favorites.  I also enjoy singing, playing the piano, dancing, and acting.  I think acting has helped aid my writing because I've learned how to view someone else's perspective.  In my life, the creative arts has allowed me to become more confident, to open my eyes to different views, to understand unity despite differences, and to appreciate all those that work hard without the "spotlight". 

Thanks for coming by and hope to see you soon!
