So I've been thinking about writing a blog for quite some time now. I read and follow other bloggers and I think, I should be doing that. Oftentimes, I will read, see or do something and I’m inspired to write about it. My goal is not to get a ton of followers but more to put thoughts to writing and see if anyone else thinks and feels the same or even completely differently.
To start, my name is Elizabeth Marie Barrett Jackson. I come from a town called Pasadena, MD... “The Dena” as those of us from there affectionately call it. My life has taken a different path than what some would say is the normal. But then again, what really is normal? I’ve been married and divorced, been deeply in love and lost and overall, I’m happy and blessed. Currently I’m living the life of a thirty something single girl in a small city with big dreams. I have a job I love but it isn’t the be all and end all. I find myself somewhere between searching for life’s grand purpose and finding the next good time. I’m challenged with finding the “one” but I'm not even close to the point where I will settle with a close “one”. I’m not pressed to have a baby even though my clock is ticking faster or louder with each passing day. I’m surrounded by love and I have amazing friends and family who make the world a better place every day.

I love to love and love to have fun with those I love. I'm rarely bored. I see the good in most people. I enjoy warm weather - including humidity, beaches, shopping, fashion, traveling, cooking, Facebooking, using only one very particular kind of pen, eating delicious food and for that last reason, I enjoy exercising. There are times I believe I was born 10 years too early but other times I think I am where I supposed to be when I'm supposed to be there. Oh, and, I'm a Gemini...I tend to see most things from two sides and decision making is not always my friend. Like Casey Kasem put it, I keep my feet on the ground but I’m always reaching for the stars.
I’m thinking this blog will be a journal of my life’s experiences, stories from my friend’s experiences (with anonymity to protect them of course) and general thoughts, feelings and questions about life. So, if you are interested, please check back. I'll update as the spirit moves me and we can go from there. I'm excited. This is going to be fun!
