Welcome

Welcome to my new blog about life and the fun adventures, miss adventures, escapades and many missteps, that will occur as I set off on a new path in life. Yes, I’m throwing my fabulously adorned hat into the over filled blogsphere and seeing what kind of a ripple I can make. My hope, okay let’s amplify that a bit, my goal (This way there is more at stake than just saying it’s a hope.) for this new endeavor, is to share my thoughts and feelings about navigating life free of the dark cloud of depression and self-doubt that has plagued me for years. It’s about sharing the ups and downs that I’ll encounter on this melancholy free journey, as well as the inevitable mistakes that will more than likely occur, after all what is life without a few mistakes? It’s about embracing a different perspective on my life, instead of being all “doom and gloom,” it’s about being patient and waiting to see what happens instead of assuming the worst is going to happen. It’s about subduing the negative voices and allowing the happy voices to speak up instead. It’s about stepping out of my comfort zone and challenging myself to try new things, embracing the unknown and letting go of the anxiety that arises in doing so. It’s about exploring a new city, trying new things, and for the first time in years, experiencing life joyfully and to its fullest. (For those of you who know me, this is definitely a break in character, but, as life is forever changing, I must change along with it.) For fun, and to aid with the new healthier version of life, I’ll toss in a few fabulous recipes. The latter being a means too healthy eating and creating fun evenings with friends on the back patio of my fabulous shotgun house in New Orleans. After all the best way to spend an evening is with new friends laughing and crying over a great meal. So, hang on fella’s, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
