I’m a 20-something whose future is wide open, and almost too much so. I’m a lover of all things random, facts, web finds, conversation topics, thoughts in my own head, and more. I’m a lover of all things random because I’m a person made up of random facts. I’m a-not-so-recent college graduate who misses her first home away from home & wishes she could visit more often.

I come from a large family. If I had to pick a type of tree to describe my family it would have to be a nut tree. I often paraphrase the most popular independent film in history to describe my family,

“My family is big and loud but they’re my family. We fight and we laugh and yes, we eat meatballs off a fork while in the hammock in the back yard. And where ever I go, what ever I do they will always be there.”
-Adapted from My Big Fat Greek Wedding

I tend to find humor in almost everything, even faith & religion.

I believe in God, and consider myself a Catholic Christian, although I tend to learn more about God though the help of various Protestant counterparts. Just like any other (trying to be a) good Catholic girl I celebrate days like Pink Candle Sunday & Mary’s holidays.

As much as I have faith in God I often find myself at odds with Him, and the beliefs of the Catholic Church. But just because I struggle doesn’t mean I have to give up, or that I’m going to.

I believe in the power of prayer but I’m still waiting for the biggest of mine to be answered.

“God always answers prayer, but sometimes the answer is ‘No!’…….”

I struggle with the idea that every woman desires to be a wife and mother in some capacity. I think that every woman should be celebrated whether she’s a mother or not, because sometimes God makes decisions for us rather than letting us make them for ourselves & that alone is worthy of celebration.

“Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies.
Her husband can trust her,
and she will greatly enrich his life.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.”
-Proverbs 31:10-12 (NLT)

I’m a lifelong member of “Club Disability,” although I didn’t realize the true impact of it on my life until recently. And even though I’ve experienced several setbacks and may very well continue to do so God has made a way for me on many occasions. But as with any club membership has its privileges and I’ll take those rewards any day.

“Sometimes, it is easier to navigate on the racecourse than to navigate in life.”

After leaving on a jet plane & achieving two long term dreams in one shot I’ve resettled in New England to fulfill the next part of the Lord’s plan for me. After going through a period of emotional detox from life in the west I’ve settled into a waiting game with God & man. During this time I’m keeping busy trying to focus on the future and endless possibilities.

I love art, especially film, that the ability to move mountains and move people, even if it calls attention to the seemingly negative as well as positive. I’m always quoting movies and song lyrics; because I always have a song in my head even if I don’t always have a song in my heart.

Right now I’m wrestling with balancing technology and building meaningful relationships so this blog is a work in progress living its life much like I am: one day at a time, and sometimes less.

“My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day’s a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride”
