Extra ordinary perspective

My name is Reneé Kimes. I have no idea (at least at this moment) what I am trying to do with this blog but I do know that I want to write, I have a million different thoughts every day and I’m as average as you can get. Average being just a gal trying to get by. While I do not think I have anything unique to bring to the world of blogging or ideas, I do know that every person has a story and wants to be heard. I also struggle with the world today (in oh so many ways but we’ll get into that) in the fact of putting yourself out there and being torn down, bullied or even threatened. I am not naïve enough to believe that everyone will like me, understand me, or agree with me yet that has pretty much ALWAYS been my driving force. Age and therapy has helped somewhat but this leap of faith will be my own reckoning with how far I have come and most likely hand me quite a few learning lessons as I go. I am not a professional writer, I have a feeling my grammar is not my best feature and I love my parentheses and ellipsis (…). Quite honestly this blog should be called “I digress” but for right now I like Extra Ordinary Perspective. My family (in particular, my sister and brother in law….and now my niece), has this thing for semantics and it makes me CRAZY (again we’ll get into it later) but I was thinking about the word extraordinary. How do two words when used unattached from each other mean more plain or another standard but then you put said words together and it means amazing, brilliant, remarkable or even astonishing? So it seems I have fallen (somewhat) into the family business. I do hope that my more plain blog is a brilliant telling of my quirky and hopefully relatable musings. I have struggled over the years to do this in such a public way and I have also struggled to be consistent in almost anything I do but alas here I am going forward once again. With fear, hope and most importantly courage here we go!
