Where've You Been All My Life?

Hello there, or should I say, "Welcome back!" It's been two years since I last blogged and recently I have been feeling inspired. As I continue to spread geographically farther from people in my life I continue to search for ways to stay connected. I have been toying with blogging again and after a little push from my mother, here I am. I left the blogosphere just after my sister got married and a lot has changed since then. So weather you are a former follower or are just joining me, allow me to (re)introduce myself.

I am a New York native, turned West Virginian, turned Baltimorean, turned Michigander. That's right, I'm a gypsy! A proud Detroit living, mid-west loving gypsy these days. I am a former Baltimore teacher and proud of the years I spent doing one of the hardest jobs around. I love to read and am always looking for book recommendations, preferably before they're turned into movies. I inherited the travel bug from my adventurous parents and have loved exploring the world. In 2013 I was lucky enough to marry my husband and best friend under a full moon on a sandy Tulum beach. And just this year we packed up our lives and headed to the mitten to start a new chapter of our lives. Moving to Detroit has meant a big shake up for our family. Currently I am searching for my next professional venture, which means a lot of time for exploring, exercising and cooking. All of which I hope to share with you right here.

When I last blogged I found myself writing more and more what my growing community of followers wanted, and less and less of what I wanted to write about. I was so grateful for the warm response and growing community that it was hard to steer away. But this time my focus is a little different. As I stand on the cusp of a new decade I find myself shifting priorities and interests. Follow along as I as I navigate through this new chapter and hopefully I can share some ideas that will inspire you.
