Thank you for reading my blog. To give you some background on me I'm in my late 20s. As a young girl I worked hard in school, maintaining a stellar grade point average. I pushed myself outside of school taking leadership roles in extracurricular activities with impressive titles like vice president, president and chair[wo]man. After college I networked my way into a corporate job with great benefits. I felt most accomplished when I reviewed my first credit report with a banker. My "wicked good" credit and impressive job made me eligible for and extra large home in a beautiful manicured neighborhood. I was living the American Dream... I started to feel like I was running in circles. I was chasing something that didn't exist and losing touch with life's intangibles. I realized that if I bought one of these houses, the really beautiful ones, even a small beautiful house, I would be stuck working the same crazy hours with the same crazy schedule for the long haul. It wasn't sustainable. The only thing that I really wanted was my health, my education, and financial freedom. I needed a change. Now, I'm repositioning myself to be an important factor in my life, just as important as my career. I'm balancing my life. I'm building my physical, mental and social health one day and one decision at a time. I'm writing this blog to open up to friends, family and potentially others, to spark up conversations about the things I care about, and to solidify my commitment to myself. I hope you are able to find some benefit in reading my blog. I look forward to interacting with you.
