Hey blog readers (all 5 of you)...sorry it's been so long. Here's why:
Last week, I turned 30. Last month, I got divorced.
At this time last year, I was writing my 30 Before 30 post, listing the things I hoped to experience or accomplish before I turned 30. Some of them happened - I ran a 10k, took a sewing class, and learned to cook more things from scratch. But most of the things I wrote on that list did not happen. And I realized, reading back over it, that many of them were meaningless goals anyway. So in this new decade of my life, I'm not writing a list. No collection of forced goals with an arbitrary timeline. Instead, I am going to focus on ONE single goal - finding happiness...whatever that may mean for me. I will do the things I love more often and discover new things I never even knew I loved. I will surround myself with the amazing friends and family who have stood by me throughout the years and meet new amazing people to bring into the fold. Everyone has been telling me the 30s will be the best decade of my life. I've been pretty blessed in life so far, so I can't wait to see what's in store for me next...
So this is my re-entry into the blogging world. I'm not going to remove any of my previous posts, because those experiences and memories will always be part of my life. My life is just taking a different course from here on out. It will be a make-over, a total re-boot...Jill 2.0 - the best version yet.

Welcome to my blog! Even though it has a different name now, it's still the same old place where I'll share my random musings, funny stories, pictures, and whatever else I decide to subject you to. It's just undergoing a few changes, as am I!

Finding happiness is the most important thing in this life. :) Best of luck discovering what else this world has to offer you! Having a postive attitute on life will take you far! I look forward to reading the new 2.0 :) Enjoy being 30!!
Thanks for your post. Through your posts I've reflected on exactly what you've written regarding finding those things that make you happy. We all judge each other on the exterior, but no one really knows what is going on inside. I thank you for sharing with us. I admire your resolve and ability to forward....it isn't easy starting a new chapter, but it is all on what you make of it. Love you girl, and wishing you all the best in this new chapter....and I raise my glass to our 30's...the best time of our lives!!
I sort of had this "crisis" right before I moved to California - I don't know what I'm doing with myself, I'm not entirely sure what direction I'm going in, but as long as I do something that makes me happy, that's all that matters. People ask me what I'm going to do with the new degree I'm getting. I just say "we'll see." Whatever happens. I'll find something. 5 years ago I'd say I'd hope to be a US attorney right now, and be married. Really nothing has gone "as planned" except that I made it to California. Now I just plan what I'm doing the next week, minus obviously that I'll be in school for 2 years.
