Out of my Nutshell

Many people say there are things they want to do (Once they find the time later on in life)... Lose those extra few pounds, travel the world, learn an instrument, start a new hobby, the list is endless, but, who's to say we will ever have the time, the money, or the resources!  People are constantly finding reasons why they cannot do something or why it isn't the right time! What people don't seem to realize is that there is NEVER really a RIGHT time for anything.  When I realized this luckily I was still young and optimistic, I decided why not make any time ALWAYS the RIGHT time. 

People sometimes come across events that become shattering and life-changing.  Mine was in 2012 just before Christmas time.  Back in the beginning of 2010 I underwent a gastric surgery placing a band on my stomach.  Almost three years later I found myself in a hospital seriously ill.  The surgical band had slipped causing me the inability to swallow anything for weeks, and the band had begun to press on my heart effecting my heart rate.  Sparing from the details, this was the event which altered my life 180 degrees.  Before this time although I was not completely unconfident, I often played my cards safe.  Now I decided to make the best of every situation, and not wait for a good time to do anything I wish! This is my reasons for starting this blog! 

Since I've broken out of my little nutshell, I have jumped out of planes, swam with sharks, held an alligator, and began traveling, beyond the here and there spontaneous trip I took a family cruise, which led me to a new job upon Carnival Cruise Lines Entertainment staff, a trip to Dominican Republic with my Best Friend, and have now been spending the past few months of my summer in Italy.  I am writing this blog to share my experiences with others, hopefully inspire at least one person to take hold of one of their dreams, and to remind myself of all the experiences and memories I am making!
