Introduction

So...I decided to start a blog. Why? Not because my life is particularly interesting or anything that a complete stranger would be compelled to read.  And I don’t find myself to be incredibly deep or feel that I have some prolific voice that must be heard.  I decided to blog because I’m experiencing a great deal of transition in my life right now and thought that this would be a great outlet for me and a way to document all of these changes. A friend of mine recently started a blog about a new personal journey that she’s taking and I got inspired. I actually read quite a few blogs on various topics and thought to myself, “Hey, I can do this!” So, here I am...maybe someone else will read my words, relate to my situation and be inspired themselves.


You know, I actually really enjoy writing – it’s what I used to want to do with my life. When I was younger I wrote poetry and short stories. I used to keep all of these diaries and journals. Tragically, I trashed them all after a bad college breakup. This dude’s name was scribbled all too often throughout roughly three years worth of journals. I didn’t want him, or my thoughts of him, to linger. Too bad though…I’m sure the journals would make for entertaining reading now. I could have written a book.  Seriously, mine was the original “He’s Just Not That Into You”!  But anyway, since then...life happened, I pursued other dreams and I never got back to writing like I used to.  I'm glad to start putting my thoughts on paper (or in this case, out in cyberspace) again. 


Not to mention that I have a bit more time on my hands now. I was laid off from my job in Advertising a couple of months ago (wow – can’t believe it’s already been a couple of months). I would say that I’m suffering from the loneliness of unemployment but…that would be...dramatic (and the last thing I am is dramatic, right?) I am used to keeping super busy though and am having to adjust to this slower pace.  I’ve decided to make a career change and get out of “the biz” (not that there are many Ad gigs out there now anyway). So, it’s a little slow moving. In the meantime, when I’m not looking and applying for jobs, not studying (yep, back in school at damn near 30) and not volunteering at the hospital (yes I'm a germaphobe and yes I'm going into healthcare) …I have all of this time to sit, stare and reflect on life. I’d love to call up my boyfriend, my friends and family to share all the theories and epiphanies that I’ve come up with but guess what?  They have jobs that keep them busy all day!  I've already been reprimanded for excessive texts during working hours!  But seriously, I’m now pursuing a path that will actively utilize the left side of my brain and I’ll need some sort of creative outlet to balance it all out.


So, what to blog about? Hmmm, how about...everything!  Life, love, work, play, body, mind, spirit...I'll talk about it all.  I don’t know if there are rules about blogging or if I’m supposed to stick to a central topic or something. But life in general is a series of random events and my posts will likely be random too. So, to whoever is reading…enjoy my random musings!
