I hope you are doing well, it’s been awhile. I’m not sure if I hit a writing wall or if the creative effects of my Cymbalta wore off after getting off meds but I am back and I have been keeping myself very busy over the years. I can’t wait to share with you what I have been up to.

So, where do I start? I have been meaning to jump back on the writing horse for a while and to be honest seeing a charge on my account for the website was a reminder that this was my dream. It’s still my dream so here I am. The world has changed so much in the last 4 years. It is currently the summer of 2024 and we have lived through a pandemic that has changed the world. Writing is a thing but I believe the style of writing I do has become more popular as a vlog. Maybe, I will give that a try but I am terribly camera shy. So it might be awkward for everyone. I will stick to writing.

I will challenge myself to at least one post a week for a month, I will start small with the goal of growing from there. I love writing about life experiences, doing things on a budget and I want to keep it as real as possible.

What have I been up to? Lots of working and exploring. I got bit by wanderlust when I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time and finally got my passport in dare I say my age…40’s. I have started a bit of a career for the first time after bartending for most of my life. It’s not too far from what I was doing, I became a restaurant manager and now beverage manager. It’s a bigger job than I was looking for but I have learned so much and am currently studying to become a sommelier. This position has elevated my lifestyle and I no longer have to do everything on a budget, which feels great but with today’s inflation I am not far separated from my humble beginnings. I look forward to sharing my blogs with you. Is that still a thing? I hope so.
