Musings from the Atlas District

Throughout high school I kept elaborate scrapbooks with candy wrappers and papers I saved. These made for a hodgepodge of journals chronicling my everyday experiences as an adolescent in small town Texas. Since then I went to college, met the love of my life in Washington, DC, moved to south Florida, started my journalism career, got married, wrote a column, moved to Washington, DC and started graduate school. However, I never been able to reflect during those years in the way I did at Boerne High School and with such artistry as my scrap-booked journals.

So in light of my recent move from Chinatown to the Atlas District of DC, I've decided to join the DC blog-o-sphere and create an online journal where I'll do some catching up by journaling on assorted topics. While it might not be the stuff dreams are made of, I hope to provide intentional insights into life in the US Capital City as well as my new neighborhood--which I'm learning to love.
