Hi, I'm Lizzie...

 

A 30 something living in the Washington D.C. suburbs. I like to think of myself as smart, funny and as someone who tries to live life to the very fullest.

​​

By all accounts I have it all. A great life in the suburbs. Healthy, happy family. A thriving career. I sit on board committees for non profits that are important to me. I volunteer at school and I'm always up to hosting neighbors and friends for dinner. From the outside looking in I couldn't ask for more.

​

But I can't help but think of the younger version of myself. Before responsibilities and deadlines. Back then I was fun. Spontaneous. 

 

Please don't mistake this for me bemoaning my poor suburban life. I know how fortunate I am. Nonetheless, it's hard to shake the feelings of discontentment. The monotony of it all can be suffocating at times. 

 

It's hard to believe that I first created this website over a decade ago. I was so young and carefree back then. Just a girl who wanted to have a good time, finish school, and get the hell out of my parents house.

 

That girl feels like a lifetime ago

​

I'm not even sure I'm the same person anymore. This is my journey to find her again. To bring her back where she belongs. Yes, I'm a mother, a wife, a daughter and there's a long list of people who depend on me. But once I've fulfilled all those roles what am I left with?​ Who am I outside of my relation to others? Am I happy? Am I fulfilled? 

 

​Can I even still be the free spirited, fun loving girl I was back then?  

 

I'm ready to pick up where I left off. A little apprehensive maybe. But absolutely ready.

​

I reckon the only question is...

 

...Are You Ready To Join Me?
