What is Sovereign Sasster?

Welcome to the blog of the Sovereign Sasster!

I know what you're asking:  "What is a 'sasster'?"  Good question.

A sasster is a play on the word "sister".  I long-time and very dear friend of mine, Gil, coined the term many, many moons ago to categorize herself, me and many of her other friends.  We are sisters with sass, thus, "sasster".  Ta-Da!

The sovereign part of my title is a very personal one.  It's a long story, so it's a good thing this is a blog where I can break it all down into smaller, easier to swallow bites.  But, here's the long and short of it...

I am a nearly 44 year old woman who is facing the challenge of being a first-time single mother.  I have numerous stories to tell of my path to this point, as well as the lessons I have learned and continue to learn along the way.  I work from home with various odd eggs, but I'm most passionate about freelance writing.  How I came into that is another post by itself.  Perhaps not the most interesting story, but I'll not clog up this welcome post with all of that.

As I said, I am facing a new, yet exciting road ahead.  This blog is a place to share my stories, my challenges, my triumphs and whatever fancies my tootsie.  You may see an affliate link here or there, and perhaps a review of a product or three.  I also love baking, so it's almost assured that you'll see me rave (or rant - depends on how the product turns out) about one recipe or another.  

It's going to be a fun ride, so buckle up and come along!  Also, I love hearing stories from other single mothers because I know they are Sasster's, too, with much wisdom and wit to share with others.
