An introduction of sorts.

Hi and welcome. Thank you for finding your way to my blog.

This is my small way of putting myself out there, honing my writing skills, finding like-minded people and inspiring myself and perhaps others. We will see where it goes.

Things I love (and therefore might write about): yoga, sparking creativity, writing, good books, beautiful words, poetry, music, art, cooking and cookbooks that I should use more often than I do, working out, black and white photographs, goal setting, crocheting, learning about the world, the feeling of sand between my toes, Latin America, quotes, tea, being inspired, sunshine, traveling, happiness, time management, organizing, zebra print, Whole Foods, meditation, volunteering, decorating, chocolate, cities, funky jewelry, Google reader, journaling, farmers' markets, tennis, online shopping, handwritten thank you notes, manicures and pedicures, cartoon owls, cupcakes, foreign film, self-improvement, love, weight loss, my iPod, holistic health, glitter, new shoes, the color pink, a sky full of stars, white wine, sleep, life lists and celebrating the present.

About me: I am a twenty-something city girl who is slowly but surely finding herself and her place in this crazy world. I work full time and I am finishing a master's program part-time in international affairs. When I am not busy with those two things, I try to fit in all the other things listed above. Most importantly, I am learning more and more every day that we choose our own happiness. Choose wisely.

I hope you will join me on this new journey.
