My story is a story about a girl who became a woman. A woman who bravely rose up and embraced her brokenness.

Stories are what makes us human.  It gives us common ground, allows us to empathise and gives us perspective in terms of our own issues or problems.

My story is about a rebellious girl who left for the UK after high school, lived a reckless life and had a sweet baby boy at the tender age of 20.  It is a story of a girl who settled for a good man, only to find out he isn't willing to live in truth with her.  My story is a story about a girl who became a woman.  A woman who bravely rose up and embraced her brokenness.

Hello, I'm Alet, is a blog that gives you glimpses into my story

I chose the name, out of sheer desperation to show up and allow myself to be vulnerable.  Real, raw, authentic vulnerability!

Thankfully my story isn't just about me - in fact, I am not even the main character, Christ who lives in me and speaks through me, fuels my hopes and dreams.  He comforts me when I'm down in the dumps and helps me navigate life.

My story is also weaved into the stories of my boys, Logan and Oliver.  Although I believe it is their privilege to share their stories, I try to mark key events and milestone.  And every now and then I indulge myself!

When I am not blogging over here, I'm available on Instagram or Twitter.

Below are the key events in my life, that have shaped who I am today.  Tales about my study ventures, weight loss battles and career ambitions are other central themes in my life.
