Uncharted waters...

I've spent the last year an a half of my life managing the social media goings on of the largest furniture store in the world {which shall henceforth be referred to as The Palace}. This awakened many interests in me ~ interior design and furniture to be sure, but also blogging. There were some wonderful things about The Palace, but also a lot of trash. We won't talk about that now. But the point is, I found that I really kind of dig blogging so I've decided to keep it up. I decided that I would start a blog-journey as soon as my time at The Palace was up so ... Ta-da!

Tomorrow I will be packing my life into a 10'x5' box and leaving my cares behind ... at least that's what I'm telling myself. And while I really should be stuffing things into boxes with catchy labels on them, I'm sitting on my bed for one of the last times {which I shall bequeath to my fav New Yorker, Chelsea, until we can be reunited} writing a blog. The idea of leaving Greensboro has been a bitter-sweet experience {read terrifying and heart-wrenching}. I kind of used to hate Greensboro. But that all changed a few years ago. I have found the best group of friends in the entire universe, and I can't imagine my daily life without them. This has made me pretty philosophical the last few days. And weepy. I'm a bit of a crier. I'm sure we'll hear more about this later.

So where could I be going from the Promised Land that is Greensboro, NC? I'm heading to Nashville, the land of country music, to pursue the glamorous life of an opera singer with Nashville Opera. And while I'm there, I'll sing sophisticated compositions like Sid the Serpent Who Wanted to Sing {I shit you not}. But I also have the amazing opportunity to make beautiful music with some pretty cool peeps. I'll keep you posted.
