Cheers to my first Blog!

Blogland, we finally meet!
I sense this was an inevitable occasion. I have often toyed with the idea of blogging mostly because I enjoy writing, but also a small part of me still looks back at myself as an 18 year old girl with dreams of being a writer like Carrie Bradshaw (with straight hair.) So here I am! So, first things first! Why am I writing this? Well for starters this year has created the perfect cocktail of events to give me the opportunity to write a blog: something to write about, and a reason to do it.  When life throws you lemons, grab a shot of tequila (or sweet tea) and... well you know where I was going with that.  My very own something to write about: This year has been a pretty wild year filled with stories that I myself would not believe had I not lived them. After experiencing some life altering medical issues I want to share my experiences with others: friends, family, co-workers, and maybe someone who can relate to my experience and be inspired to view the world in the always positive light that I do.  I have not allowed sickness or disabilities to define me, and it will certainly not define my blog. However; the adventures I have gotten myself into by living each day to the fullest (plus some) certainly will. While living out of my suitcase is kinda boss like... I am hoping to get back to my 21 first floor city view in corporate America soon and maybe actually be a boss instead! Until then I will be taking it one day at a time and writing about my day to day: planes, shopping bags, events, sushi, being patient of the year, the occasional glass of champagne, and always Toasting to having Tomorrow.
Cheers! XOXO
