WHO IS ANA GIBSON?

WHO IN THE WORLD IS ANA MARIE GIBSON?
And why is she here?

Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen...the moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. Back by popular demand (in her mind at least), ready to share with the world her life, her stories and her calling, the girl who can eat a can of peas, sing to the high heavens, who's preferred breakfast is French toast from iHop, can make a mean balloon arch, AND makes it her life's mission to wear mismatched socks, I bring to you the incomparable...ANA...MARIE...GIBBSSSOOONNNNN!!!!!



WASSSUUPPPP EVERYBODDYYY! 

*fans screaming wildly*


How y'all feeling tonight????? 
(or morning, whichever time zone you're in. It's cool)


Welcome to the OfficialAnaGibson Blog. I'm so glad you bought your free tickets to this ongoing event. This is going to be amazing. Are you guys ready to rock out?

I'm going to pretend like you guys said yes cause if you didn't...


Now let's get to it.

For those who do not know me, my name is Ana Gibson. I'm a 30 year old stay at home wife and mom. I've been a mother for 2 years now and I've been married going on 8 years. We've been together a total of 14. That's a long @$$ time. I live in Charles County Maryland (right outside of D.C.) And we have a Boston terrier named Buster. -__-  Anybody who has a Boston Terrier knows why I put that face there. LOL

Any who, heres what else you should know about me. I am a singer/songwriter, event decorator, a cusser (I'll keep it PG-13 for most of my post), an author, annndd, drum roll please...now, officially a freelance blogger. I'm telling y'all now, I do not do this for a living. 

So why are you doing it, Ana? 

*snatches mic*
I'll tell you why, Susie. I'm not doing it for a living but i'm actually doing this as part of my calling. And it's because I have a lot to talk about. I mean, a whole lot. I've got experiences and revelations and advice to share. And because sometimes I don't know how to always translate my thoughts by speaking it out, my best bet is to write it. I feel like I'm a better writer than I am a speaker, although I've been told I speak pretty well actually. I probably just need to take some tiny tots toastmasters classes. But that's beside the point. I'm using this platform to share my ideas, share my heart, share my insights and wisdom and bless you all with the things I do have knowledge about.

I chose to blog as one of my outlets because I realize that when I do have a lot to say, I need to get it all out and that may sometimes require more than typing 140 words in a tweet, or posting a nice little quote alluding to the 2000 words I really want to say on Instagram or narrowing it down to three paragraphs on a Facebook post that people end up not even clicking the "continue reading" link because they think it might be too long. So i'm going to BLOG IT. To me, it's the equivalent of public speaking. Any who, writing is definitely one of my best gifts that God has given me and I want to use it in as many ways as possible. It aligns with my calling and its important that I have enough space to write whatever message the good Lord needs me to write about and work it how I want to work it.

As a reader, what can I expect from you, Ana?

Well Cody, I can tell you this. Expect a LOT of transparency. Thats a trait I pride myself on. I feel that when you're transparent with people, it helps others heal and overcome whatever issues they're facing and ushers them into a mindset of being their authentic selves which then creates a ripple effect one person at a time. The more we are open and honest about who we are, the more we can help someone else and that's what I'm striving to do--to help and heal. 

Most of my topics will be about Self-discovery, Self-esteem, Childhood Emotional Trauma and it's effects in adulthood, Marriage, and my novel Guide Me Home, and anything that requires us to be aware of ourselves. I am very intrigued with self-awareness and being true to getting to the root out our issues. Introspection is my thing. AND i'm warning y'all now, I talk about God a lot because He is a big part of my life so get used to that. That's my pops. My dad. The lover of my soul, so you know....

This ain't a blog about Fake News. i.e. unrealistic experiences, expectations and advice. However, the blog is for people who are longing to know themselves more; to understand themselves and others. It's for people who need to feel safe and have a sense of belonging. It's for those who are wanting to get to know who God is without the religious fluff and rhetoric. I do not like religion. I am all about relationship with the Father.

While it's tempting to say this blog is for anybody, quite frankly, it's not, only because I am not an "anybody experiencer." That's probably not even term but whatever. I just know that I know my lane and I know my experiences and can only aid in that area and if there is something I don't know but you need help with, I can most certainly help you find what it is you may be looking for. I'll do my best to not leave you hanging.

Lastly, I want y'all to know (disclaimer: I love saying ya'll and Ain't. Blame it on the under side of the Mason Dixon Line), I encourage comments, suggestions, complaints, and disagreements as long as you keep it respectful at all times. If not, I have no problem cutting you off.

*In my Cardi B voice* Don't Get Comfortable. K? K!

There will also be a lot of guest posts involved too, so please be on the lookout with that.

So are you guys ready to get this show on the road??

  2. This is a wonderful blog Ana Gibson.
    The way you describe yourself, it feels as if you are talking about me.
    Lot of my friends, collegues and even people that i do not know in person (Internet friends) telling me that i have a healing gift, and that i make them feel comfortable, some even call me an Angel send by God. The problem is that i do not see that myself.
    Maybe it is part of learning to know who i am.
    I realy enjoyed reading your blogs, and i am very interested in knowing and learning more about you... ;-)

Throw The Whole Person Away

Throw The Whole Person Away I love this meme for many reasons. It works well with so many jokes and incidences deemed funny or light heartedly crazy, especially when it comes to breakups and such. But on the flip side, it's not as funny when it involves someone you know. Most recently, I found myself having to confront this line in a much more personal way. I'll explain. Last week, a situation happened to a person I know that got him into a lot of trouble. I won't disclose what it was but just know it really wasn't good. Upon looking at the circumstance, my heart went out to him because I know that he's such a bright and smart young man that made a ridiculous and stupid choice that could literally cost him everything. Knowing the details, anyone could say, "Throw the whole person away," and justifiably so, BUT for me I didn't feel that in this case. The reason why it's personal is because at the time I felt like his decision would impact

Your Ugly Has Beauty, Too (Forgiveness)

Forgive me, y'all. This one might be a lil long today. Ugly truths are hard to confront and mirrors weren't made to just reflect outer beauty but to show the uglier sides of us too. I want to be honest with you guys right now. Last summer, I found myself in a real funk. This was a few months after I had done my When Hearts Align Concert which, by the way, I had already felt like I failed at it. Add on some other factors like being a stay at home mom (which is a job within itself), a wife, not having any real quality time with my husband, especially the physical part of it, my best friend coming to stay with us for a while (although she was a tremendous help for us), not having any money (and I don't mean joint account money. I mean my own, actually working for it so that I can spend it how I want to, money), feeling a little lost and not sure of myself, constant negative reminders of being a failure (That's what I told myself. I know it's not true), it playe

Hello Me! (A Self-Discovery Segment)

Who Do You Think You Are? I wrote this quote because I was talking to a young friend of mine one evening and out of nowhere, I began to ask her random questions about herself. I wanted to know what her thoughts were. I wanted to know her views, why she does the things she does, why she thinks the way she thinks. And after talking to her for a while, I came to realize that many of us don’t know who we really are outside of what our life events and loved one's voices has said we are. I want to first say, if you're the kind of person that has had nothing but positivity in your life from friends and family and you bask in that identity, that is so awesome. You’ve probably found yourself and this post probably isn't for you. However, for those of us who are just now journeying to find a sense of self after so long of being told what to be, how to act, what to do, and all the other societal standards, this post is for you. HOW YOU DOIN?? HEY GIRL HEY (Or BOY)!
