Long Time No See

So, after quite a long few months of silence, I do believe I am back!

So many things have been happening!

My (not so little anymore) little brother got engaged to an amazing woman!!! I am so happy for them, and excited to get my first sister!



I have moved into a new apartment, and I absolutely love it! The backyard had a nice little fire pit perfect for sitting around and writing.







Hopefully, now that I am all moved in I will have more time to write in the midst of unpacking and settling in.

In the midst of all the other excitement Renaissance Faire is in full swing here. I am there just about every Sunday. It has been great seeing my friends again after a long fall/winter/spring apart. I love wandering around the faire grounds and just exploring everything.  The smells of incense and leather mix with roasting meats and herbs. Mmmm..... if you have never been to a renaissance faire you should go at least once in your life.  It is truly an inforgettable experience.












It is hard to believe that summer is winding down to a close, and my favorite time of the year is knocking at the door. I adore fall and all that the season brings with it.

Here in about two-ish weeks I am off on my family's annual vacation.  So stay tuned for updates from my adventures in GSMNP. I will also be posting pictures up on Instagram so be sure you are following and subscribed!

Lastly, here is where all of you come in. I am looking for more followers/subscribers on the page. Please, if you follow me on here hit the follow/subscribe button and let me know that you are reading. It definitely makes me want to try harder when I see more people are following along!

It is great to be back! So until next time my fellow adventurers,  Dream Big and Live BIGGER!

A New Adventure!

After months of contemplation, I have finally decided to take the plunge and begin my very own blog! Creating a new blog has proven of itself to be an incredible adventure! At first I wasn't sure if I should let anyone know my contemplations, but I figured there is nothing wrong with reaching out into your social circles to find a little help, and boy did it deliver! I had no idea blogs were such a huge part of people's lives.  I suppose that is a part of my ignorance on the entire thing. Hmm... Where was I? Oh right! The adventure of creating this blog. Well, after I had reached out to people for input on where to begin, I received tons of input on which sites were best, who preferred what, etc.  My mind was spinning like a carousel (I prefer carousel over merry go round...sounds a bit more...fancy? grown up?) I had no idea there were so many options to explore. One friend, who is an avid blogger, went through the basics with me, and told me that over everything else th...

A Covid-19 World

Image
Closed indefinitely. Social distancing. No toilet paper. Sold out. No mask no service. Sanitize everything. Stay home. Wash your hands for twenty seconds. Stay six feet apart.  We are living in a world we never dreamed we would see. We see grief. Grief over loss of normalcy. Grief over the loss of loved ones. Grief over the loss of jobs. Grief over lost opportunities. Grief over being isolated from loved ones. Grief for plans being ruined. Grief is raw. Grief is hard to bare. It gives us a glimpse into the depths of the soul, and shouldn't be rejected, but rather rejoiced in as odd as that may sound. We shouldn't rejoice in the cause of the grief, but grief itself is a powerful thing. It allows us to perceive truth and beauty in ways we may have never seen it before.  We see everyone moving about day by day wondering when and if this will ever end.   We see the best in people come out. We see museums, theatres, and attractions all streaming their conte...

I Am Thankful.

Wow, how does one put everything they are grateful for into words... I guess to sum up as best I know how I would have to say I am beyond thankful for this wild and wacky adventure called life. I'm thankful for those who share in the journey alongside me, for those who have played their part in my story and moved on their own way, for those who have yet to enter my story and change the world as I know it. My family and dearest friends always beside me. I'm thankful for the good times that are forever mine to cherish, and the tough times that always have a lesson to teach and grow me. I'm thankful for eyes to see the beauty of the world around me, ears to hear the sweetest sounds, feet to take me to places I've never been before or to lead me back home again, hands to hold up those around me who are too tired to carry on alone, a tongue to taste the richness the world has to offer, and a heart to feel every emotion to its fullest. I'm thankful for the sunshine t...
