Discover Life is a Little Bit of Everything Lifestyle

Me?  Who am I? I'm just a girl trying to find her way in this crazy world.

This blog and website is kind of like my own personal therapy and a way to share my experiences with life.  Too general?  Well, I never thought my life would be what it is today.  When I was younger I was sure that my life would be completely different.  My profession would be Doctor or Lawyer or Corporate VP.  I was sure I would be extremely rich, have a maid and a butler, a gardener and a huge house like the one in Gone With The Wind.  I lived life thinking I would be like Catherine in Wuthering Heights or Scarlett in Gone With The Wind.  I wanted to be a writer like Laura Ingalls and be famous far beyond my years on this world.

Guess what - that didn't happen. My life is nothing like what I imagined.  I question every decision I ever made and everything I've ever done.  I ask myself many times a day "why am I even alive" and "what is the point of this", "why do I work so hard", "what is this all for".  I don't have an answer which is really sad actually.  Most people have a reason to keep them going but I guess you can look at me and say "Hey, she doesn't have a reason but she is still here" and figure if I can do it, so can you or if I'm doing it maybe you should too.  

There's no theme I can think of to narrow down what I want to do with this website and blog.  I don't want to limit myself to talking about one particular thing.  I want to share with you recipes I make when I crave warmth or security or when I'm trying something new, I want to share with you books that changed my life. I want to share with you things I buy/want to buy/bought that make a difference in my life - maybe as simple as a closet organizer or a frying pan.  I want to show you what helps me get through every day?

I have no special talents to boast about, no special skills or knowledge - I am just a girl trying to get through life one day at a time.

If you are a regular subscriber or a visitor, I hope I can learn from you also.  I hope we can all learn from each other and help each other.  It's not easy sharing hardships with those around us but sharing them with the online world is different - feels safer in a way.  I hope to get to know you and maybe we can all make some new friends.  Feel free to drop me a line, ask me a question, comment on my blog or website or any of my content. I truly hope this can be a two way street for me - a place where I can share and a place where I can learn.


Thank you so much for being part of my online family. I can't wait to see what the future holds.
