My Journey, A Memoir - Hello World!

Hello and Welcome! My name is Frances Stanfield and I live in the Atlanta Metropolitan area

In a nutshell, I am a graduate of Shorter University, currently employed with Emory University, married over 30 years at the time of this post, and have one fantastic daughter.  I like to think of myself as one of the many Georgia Peaches gracing Hotlanta.

When I first started this blog, I thought that I wanted to talk about all things frugal but quickly realized that always searching the best deal was only just one small part of who I "really" am. I suddenly turned 50 and realized that I have many things to talk about that might help someone. Each of us is unique in our own skin and just as I have learned from others, I hope to impress upon you parts of my life that will be teachable moments.

My plan for this blog is merely to be a tool for me to organize my thoughts about my life to include how I have overcome the agony of hair loss (alopecia areata); survival as a teen runaway; nurturing a long-standing marriage; raising a daughter; finally meeting my biological father at age 46, and of course my ride as I journey through the aging process. Weaved in will be things I've learned through my journeys that may inspire Ah-Ha moments for you. Some new nuggets and some not-so-new.

This blog and my life are constant works in progress. But then, that's why I'm so…

Frantastically Fran!
