Hello!

Lately, I have been inspired by others to enter, well, let's face it, re-enter, the world of blogging.  I have tried before, but haven't been successful in updating on a regular basis.  I am determined this time.  I have noticed lately that keeping everything inside of me isn't working out too well.  I have failed in a relationship, lost connections with important people, and have been holding way too many grudges because I have a hard time communicating what is going on inside of me.  Kind of ironic since I have a bachelors degree in Communications, isn't it?  I am here to try again.  My job has taught me the significance of using journaling as a "coping skill" and although it may not apply to me as it does for some of the people I come in contact with, I am choosing to use it to my benefit.  

My life is all over the place.  I am newly single after breaking off a near 4 year relationship.  I have a job that I really enjoy that pays my bills, for now, but it has nothing to do with what I went to school for.  I have certain family members that are continuously on my case about furthering my education.  I have a serious shoe addiction.  And I am not happy with who I am in more ways than one.  

I have a lot on my plate and I am constantly trying to figure out what comes next.  I am inviting you into my journey.  I have a lot of interests and I will be sharing them as well.  I don't know what my ultimate goal is for this blog, except for to update it, but I am real and you will learn that pretty quickly.  I feel as if most of what I am going through will be easy to relate to in some way or another.  

So here goes, Welcome to my new blog!
