As time goes by...

Wow! It's hard to believe that it has been over six months since I wrote my last post. Just like the saying goes, times flies when you're having fun. The past six months have been incredible in every way. They have challenged me, deepened my sense of self, and opened my eyes to what drives me in life. 

I have continued to accept any and every adventure that comes my way, an extremely valuable lesson I learned from my travels this summer. I made the move back to my hometown when it became apparent that was the direction my life was taking me. I took a job as a bookkeeper, a barista, and a personal assistant. I have traveled to several amazing and exciting places, not to mention rediscovered many of my old favorites in the areas that I consider to be my backyard. It is amazing what going back to your roots can do for self discovery. 

I have taken to cooking and baking on a whole new level. It is absolutely something that makes me one happy girl. I have become a frequent visitor of tastespotting.com and have gotten so many inspirations for new recipe ideas. For a women who only six short years ago asked my mom as I prepared to embark on my collegiate career, "who is going to cut the freaking chicken?", I am proud to say that I am now quite the chef! 

Something else that I have realized in the past few months, I miss writing as a form of self expression in a terrible way. So here is my newest adventure, to begin to blog again about pursuing my passions: from the things that brighten my daily life, to my travels, to my attempts (and hopefully successes) with new recipes, to gaining a deeper understanding of the women I've become. 

So let the adventures begin!
