Hello and welcome! I am Rachel, a 32 year old single dog mom, with a career in corporate America and some hobbies that some people may find interesting. It took me an extremely long time to figure out what it means to be Rachel - to truly be happy. I spent a large majority of my adult life in a relationship that I thought was going to be my last - I was wrong. Being wrong is not something that I'm good at! Although in hindsight, I can honestly say it was the best thing for me. I have spent the last two years learning what makes me happy - pouring myself into life - living deliberately. I have always loved to travel. Growing up, my Dad took me on a different trip each summer, I was (and am) extremely blessed. From a very young age I enjoyed the excitement of exploring someplace new, learning the culture and history of a place and trying different foods. Enter my passion for wanderlust. You know what goes really well with travel? Photography. I have completely fell in love with the art you can create behind a lens. Whether it's portrait, landscape or macro - you are creating art. I am completely self taught. This is my caveat. If I mention things in this blog that aren't "by the book," don't say I didn't warn you. My "real job" is Financial Manager for a large Japanese Machine Tooling Company. I manage a team of 6 incredibly smart, yet all very different employees. Since this is my first role in management, I am learning what to do and what not to do through trial and error. Trial and error is effectively how I have lived my life. My grandfather has always said, "We all have good days and we have bad days, and as long as the good days outweigh the bad we are doing just fine." I want to use this blog as a space to celebrate the good, vent about the bad and hopefully make a couple people laugh at my failures along the way. I hope you learn something, I hope you smile and I hope you leave my space wanting to come back for more!
