Day 1

Hello!

So I'm finally starting a blog, and I'm really excited about it.  It's something I've wanted to do for a long time and kept putting off for multiple reasons.  But after seeing my friend Erika's blog (erikasmalley.blogspot.com) and finding her posts relatable and insightful, I thought starting a blog of my own could be a good outlet for some of the constant activity that's always going on in my head.

A few introductory points:

• I'll probably post a lot about food and cooking
• I'm currently studying for a massive exam (Series 7), which is proving to be one of the biggest, most daunting challenges I've faced in a long time
• I just joined an online wine club, which feels like Christmas (not your ordinary wine club and you get a $40 voucher for signing up, you order by the case and you have total control over when you order and how much you spend - all the wine is deeply discounted.  www.nakedwines.com - check it out!
• I've been doing a lot of self-reflection lately and will probably post pseudo-philosophical, self-helpish things often...
• I'm very curious and always find myself thinking the most random things
• I love travel, music, languages, food, photography, writing, friends, shoes, and I'm an opera singer.
• That about sums it up!

There are a lot of things going on in my life that I'm excited about and I feel really blessed to be where I am.  I'm working hard and every day feels like an adventure.  If you decide to follow my posts, you'll probably feel like you're on the ride with me as I navigate all the ups, downs, twists, and turns of my life and thoughts.  Sometimes it might be irrelevant, boring, or silly, but hopefully you'll find it insightful or at least amusing some of the time. 

Thanks for reading and stay tuned :)
