A fresh start

I’ve done a lot of cool things recently, including but not limited to:

-Turning 24

-Getting a dog

-Getting braids

-Learning how to pour the perfect cup of beer

-Going to two journalism conferences in different parts of the country

-Finding my new favorite coffee shop in Lansing (more on that later)

-Navigating my job with all the new skills I’ve learned

-Helping to build a house

-Making lots of friends

I could go on, but you get the idea. Ya girl has been busy and slacking on this blog as a result. But I want to get better! As I navigate this 24th chapter, I want to get better at being consistent and putting my energy into things that make me happier and healthier. Writing and blogging check both boxes, and I have so much to talk about these days that can’t really fit into a 1:30 package on the 6 o’clock news.

I look forward to a lot of things in year 24: working out more, better budgeting and cleaner eating, to name a few. And I especially look forward to writing more on this blog, even if it’s just a paragraph or two, to show you a little snapshot of my life every now and then.

Cheers to a new year!
