(que – Walkin on Sunshine – yes that’s my “walk up song”)

Just to start off, for clarification, I’m not the girl who uses a “$” in her name! But, I am a truth seeking, cancer fighting, Texas tune singing, grocery store shopping, Etsy store owning, scrap sewing, downtown alley photo taking, recipe redesigning, curious little rock star.

I see the power in repurposing.
 
The promise in college freshmen.
 
The refreshing nature of a Chick-Fil-A sweet tea.
 
The impact of an afternoon chat over a latte.
 
The progress of a downtown square.

I believe in Jesus Christ, a great playlist, sleeping late, drinking from a straw (you know, so you don’t stain your teeth) and the power of the human spirit.

I resist change but know it’s good. Feel my best when I’m giving. Revel in coffee dates, especially when the beans have a story. Think social entrepreneurialism and a 9:00AM start will be the fully changed face of the business world as the Baby Boomers all graduate to retirement (or being consultants while they get their nest egg back up). I’m convinced Zappos and Buzzfeed have figured out something genius about the work environment and think ecard billboards should be the wave of the future (I’m a fan of the cheeky comment!)

I’m random and eclectic. Planned and personable. I usually write half my blogs pecking one letter at a time on my iphone and edit them later (it’s 11:33PM and my phone is 3 inches from my face because I took my glasses off….I’m not even kidding). I get my nails and eyebrows done once a month and have worked a Massage Envy membership into my monthly budget. I pay my property tax with my previous year tax return and save the rest for a sunny day or mystery donations to my favorite causes.

I’m on the go, survive with a series of gadgets and think the greatest invention next to indoor plumbing was the Keurig and the iron skillet.

I blog about cancer because I kicked it in the tail. I tell stories about the single life because I can’t make this stuff up. I share recipes that I develop from the stuff on my pantry shelves. The other thoughts are just by-products of the journey.

So basically, I write when I can in my over programmed life. I fight cancer on all fronts. I have a goal to give away more than I keep (time, resources, and memories). I LOVE to make people laugh, like belly laugh and I’m super stoked to be Miss April and be among the awesome other chicks that I admire in so many ways.
April is the month of my birth. The month of my all-clear cancer-versary and the motto “no rainbows, no sunshine” is pretty much my version of “lemonade”. And, in case you are wondering, here’s my pin up photo!

If all that intrigues you, you can find me on my real day job – just bein’ me!

I promise to not always ramble about myself…actually this is pretty hard for me to do. So, stop by several times this month and see all the cool things these chicks have planned and I have a couple other posts coming up that I want your insights on!
