About

Welcome to my blog. I hope you find my journey through all the change in my 30's interesting. The intent for my blog is to keep account of the bumps I face along the way and the funny way things seem to work out. It is a collection of daily thoughts, observations and rants about the world around me as well as my reflection on the past and the decisions that have taken me to where I am today.

I am very open and feel like sharing personal experiences is not only cathartic for me, but may also provide some reassurance to you, my dear readers, that life is not easy and it is okay to struggle. I'm sure you've heard people say that you cannot enjoy the sweet without the sour. It's true. We need the hardships to realize what we have some times. 

I hope you enjoy! Feel free to reach out to me with any comments, questions, concerns, etc. I'm always open for feedback and would love to hear what you have to say!

GET TO KNOW ME

So who am I? I'm just a typical 31 year old female, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. I am a deep thinker; passionate; I love and live hard. I believe in the power of positive thinking but often struggle to apply it. I am a dreamer but also very dedicated to working hard for what I want. I am going through a lot of life changing events - divorce, living in a new area, job changes, a death of a parent, new friendships and relationships. It's all a bumpy, scary, unfamiliar road I am on.

By day, I am a Marketing Manager and Graphic Designer. But my true passion is writing, especially this blog. I love nature and hiking, am an animal enthusiast, specifically a die hard dog lover, volunteer for an animal rescue, love to work out and work on my body and self image. I am a loyal and dedicated friend and place a high amount of value in respect and being true to oneself and honoring commitments.

All in all, the foundation for my way of life is striving to be the best version of yourself.
