Welcome to the Transition.. and other abnormalities of Nicole's Life.

Greetings! A new year is upon us, as well as a new blog.

I want a clean slate - a new beginning - a way to free my inner turmoil and express my more passionate or creative side.

LOL

Yep, it's pretty clear it is a new year.

I decided to go through old journals from years past. The same thing, over & over - New beginnings, new decisions, new promises. When does it ever end?

That's when I realized something very important: it never ends. Life is nothing but one BIG transition. We always evolve, we are always changing, we are always looking for the next best/bigger/amazing thing or a newer/thinner/more beautiful self.

It all goes back to that old quote: "Life is a Journey, Not a Destination."

That is a beautiful way to segue to my invitation - please join me on a quest we call life.

I will attempt to blog at least 5 days a week, perhaps more. I will take you through the trials and tribulations of what is my very (not exciting) life. But I promise you this - if you stick with me, you will laugh, cry, cheer, and find hope.

Let's go over some basics - kind of like the book jacket - and let you decide if you are interested in following my dreary little life.

I am 35. Not too old, not too young. I am employed. Woo Hoo (in this time of life.) I am educated. I am passionate. I am creative. I am fairly intelligent. I cannot type, I cannot spell. So get over that before you read any further.

I am engaged/married. LOL I will explain that one later. I am about to move. I live in a state outside of where I grew up.

I have a cat.

I take Flamenco dance classes and volunteer at my church.

I am disgusted by mayo, grits and white milk.

I love to write.

I cannot keep a secret.

I love to philosophize about everything.

Care to join me on a magical ride - called - the transitional journey?

Good...

Until next time...
