And I'm back!

Bit of a bump there in my blogging. But I'm back now, both literally and figuratively, and have a renewed sense of purpose to my blog. I'm hoping that someday this becomes a community for people like me, who are looking for support and friendship and love when they just can't find it in their every day lives. So come along with me!

My major adventure for 2014 was a three and a half week trip to Europe: Berlin, Nuremberg and Coburg for a wedding, Munich, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest.

                                                   At Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna

Not only was this trip an amazing experience for all of the beautiful, fun, historic cities I got to visit, but three and a half weeks alone (excepting the 3 day wedding) allowed me time for journaling and self-discovery at a pace I don't ordinarily have the time for amid the hustle and bustle of "real" life. I'll have many stories and insights to share in the coming days.

Suffice it to say, this trip changed me. I came back a better person, a more confident woman, and full of eagerness to approach life with a new vigor. First up? Getting serious about this blog. Stick around and you can expect to hear stories of pickpockets and gorgeous Danish men and breathtaking art. Here at home there is more dating, some career brainstorming, and the continued agony of training for my first marathon.

            You may say I'm a dreamer/But I'm not the only one/I hope someday you'll join us/And the world will be as one.
