This year on my list of goals I included “start a blog or shut up about it.” I realized that I’ve been talking about starting a blog long enough that clearly the idea resonated with me in some way. So here it is! I am invoking my life mantra — don’t be unnecessarily afraid — and jumping in! These blog posts will likely read as slightly edited journal entries, and I hope that something I write will resonate with you.
I am a nanny in Portland, Oregon who loves hiking, yoga, eating chocolate, visiting friends around the world, feeling deeply, and writing to process events in life that produce big emotions.
A couple years ago, I claimed a two-word theme for my life that has come to mean so much more than I ever expected. I decided I wanted to “be bold” and have found that applies to putting myself on dating sites, coming out to everyone, walking across the street to the climbing gym to take a class with other newbies, and has lead me to this blog. I am in search of a bolder existence, and I will continue to push to be a bolder human.
