Welcome to my world
Hi, I’m TL!
About Me
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m TL, and I’m thrilled to have you here as I share my journey as a parent and wife. Ever wondered what it’s like to start something new during a global pandemic? That’s exactly what I did!
When the world turned upside down during COVID-19, like many others, I found myself at home, trying to navigate this new normal. It was a time of uncertainty but also unexpected opportunities. With quarantine keeping us all inside, I figured it was either starting a blog or finally figuring out what all those coding languages were about. Spoiler: the blog won.
A New Beginning
Many might not know this about me, but writing has always been my outlet. It’s a way to make sense of the world when things don’t add up. It all started with poetry and journaling—small, personal ways to express my thoughts. Over time, I realized that these words not only helped me but also resonated with others, offering them clarity and connection in their own lives.
That’s why I’m passionate about sharing my experiences. I want to shine a light on the challenges we all face because no matter what you’re going through, someone else has walked that path too. My goal is to inspire and uplift, creating a space where we can learn from each other and grow together.
Words of Wonder
A few personal things about me: I married my husband at 21, and while we certainly don’t have everything figured out, we’ve made it our mission to pray together and find common ground, even amid arguments—just like any other couple.
At 25, after a challenging battle with infertility, I welcomed my daughter into the world. She’s a whirlwind of joy and chaos, and her cheerful, spontaneous voice is the soundtrack to my days. Some days lean more toward chaos, but I wouldn’t trade a single moment for the world.
I still remember when my daughter, at just 1 year old, discovered the permanent markers. She decided it was a brilliant idea to mark up the walls, herself, and even her scooter. Thankfully, everything came out, but it was the look of pure accomplishment on her face that made it a moment to remember—and, of course, a reminder to keep the permanent markers out of reach!
The reason I’m passionate about sharing my experiences is simple—I want to shine a light on the challenges we all face. No matter what you’re going through, someone else has been there too. My goal is to inspire and uplift, creating a space where we can learn from each other and grow together.
Just a little inspiration
I don’t have all the answers, and I haven’t faced every trial, but I believe that what I’ve learned can help someone else—whether it’s avoiding a pitfall or just feeling a little less alone.
Everything I share here is meant to encourage and uplift. Whether through my writing or on my podcast, I only speak about things I’ve lived or experienced—I won’t pretend otherwise. I love connecting with others on a similar journey, so feel free to reach out, share your thoughts, or just say hello. We’re all in this together, and I’m grateful to have you as part of this community.
Some things might come across as a little harsh or might hurt your feelings, but I want everyone to know about me and where I stand on certain topics. I believe we can agree to disagree on certain things but the fact remains we’re all humans navigating this thing called life.
LapsOfTime Is Born
Laps Of Time was born out of place of isolation. It wasn’t easy, but I believe I may have stumbled upon something great. While I might not be able to give you every detail about me, I certainly hope you stick around to see the greatness.
There are some things about me that you might pick up on, that make this blog and podcast and merch (coming soon) hit close to home: being a believer in Jesus Christ.
While I know it’s not for everyone the outlook I give, I do believe that we all have to have some kind of morals and values, and if we don’t what defines right and wrong?
So, dive into the content and enjoy! I truly appreciate your support. Don’t forget to leave a comment, follow me on social media, or subscribe to my newsletter for more insights and encouragement. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
