Day 1. The beginning of an era.

I never thought of myself as one to blog. Why waste my time in front of a screen sharing my ramblings with the interwebs (thanks, Stevie, for bringing that word into my vocabulary...)? I don't journal, and I prefer to share my life happenings with people individually. However, I am often weeks and months behind on sharing the biggest moments in life with those I love. So here we are, on a beautiful summer day post-graduation and I find myself wanting, needing, a place to reflect on the wonders of my life. 

With all the transition - emotional, physical, geographic, and otherwise - I have decided to use this as my medium to share my moments, good and bad, with my friends and family. If nothing else, it will be my record of doings and a collection of thoughts throughout the next phase of life. I strive to share laughter and love, good news and bad, surprise adventures, delicious recipes, DIY projects gone awry, good books, and my meandering mind.

I've got a list of goals for this summer of change. I'm a list-maker, I'm task-oriented, but also a procrastinator. Hopefully this list will challenge the stubborn little girl within to grow up and get a grip on things. Life's a-changin' and I've got some stuff to do. Publishing this will help hold me to it, right?!

1. Participate in the "Run Like A Girl 10k" in October (I have some preparing to do for this one...)

2. Organize. I'm starting on my own and my life is cluttered. Clear out the junk and move on.

3. Clean Eating. Cooking is one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling parts of my day, and I'm excited to share fun and easy recipes.

4. Read more. I've been putting this on the back burner for so long, and it's time to clear the cobwebs from my Want-To-Read list on goodreads.com

5. Watch more documentaries. Let's be honest, so many movies are trash and there are people out there who are trying to share the stories of real people doing really amazing things. And who doesn't love learning something?

Now that I've shared my Top 5 (this list is significantly longer) and started a blog in one day, I'm going to call it a good day's work. Here's to what's next. Cheers.
