Charlotte Burgess was my best friend at boarding school. A native Texan, who I met on the tennis court my sophomore year. I remember it vividly- it was a crisp fall Tennessee day, and we had an instant connection. Our first conversation lasted for hours- it stretched into days and it eased into years.

I think of that moment because as I start this new blog I hope to create that with you. A friendship that will be sparked by commonalities and deepened by our differences. I want to share my perspectives and my world. I want you to see life through my eyes and I want to hear it through your words and feedback.

The world has gotten smaller for me, but my experiences have gotten bigger. I still have an insatiable urge to peek under the rocks, to drive a little further and to take the alternate route. I want to jump into things, and have a new desire to jump off things and fly a little…

I will prod a conversation deeper than what some are comfortable with, but I want something that is bigger than just the surface and if you will go with me- I am excited to share the journey.
