And the Posting Begins.

I'm finally doing it...I'm starting a blog!  Don't let my excitement over this new endeavor fool you because I am definitely nervous.  I am still not completely sure why I am doing this blog, but (as is a common theme in my life) I know my full vision will evolve over time. 

A little about me.  I tend to be the advice and encouragement girl when it comes to my friends.  I empathize deeply, and I love sharing in other peoples joy.  I am a glass is half full type of girl and will make sure that the bright side is always at the forefront.  I have a lot of energy that both excites and overwhelms, and I can be too blunt and emotional at times.  Overall, I'm a good person that wants the best for everyone I meet.  This is why I'm here.

I am a mother of a sparkly little juicy 8 month old boy named Bronson, and his existence has helped shape the way that I look at and interact with the world.  I met my husband Brandon 8.5 years ago when we were just 22.  We have a beautiful relationship because it's real.  Life hasn't always been a smooth ride for us, but we've survived and sometimes that's all that matters.  He is my best friend, an awesome dad, and so kind.  I am lucky to have him.

My 20s were a time of exploration, death, marriage, education, traveling, fighting, loving really hard, depression and happiness. My experiences have taught me how to live life as best I can with a goal of being a person who is healthy in mind body, and spirit.  Through this blog I will share my life with you whether it be recipes, advice, a funny story, or my frustrations with world hunger.  I hope to inspire other people to live in a way that makes them proud no matter what that looks like.

What I have learned today is that life happens when you make it happen.  Here I go...

Me.
