The New GRACEFULLY AMUSING Project!

Yes, exclamation points in titles! Because it feels good to be back.

As I mentioned in my last post, I've been flailing a bit on the old blog, here. But instead of trying to act like a designer or a guru of anything at all, I'm just going to put my own person out there and chronicle my 
mad attempts at accomplishing grace (while laughing as often as possible!).

I'm in my young twenties, and while balancing full-time work and school, I'm creating my home for the first time. This isn't my first apartment by any means, but it is the first apartment where I feel this...settled. It's been such a fun process of narrowing down what I like, what I don't like, what I want in my space and my life, and how to make it all happen on a budget.

New Project: To improve my life and space, one thing at a time, one day at a time. 

I was struck with this idea while reading my new cookbook, Fresh Flavor Fast. I already try to accomplish one goal for the apartment every week, but why not try a (small) goal everyday? It felt like a Julie & Julia moment: yes, unfortunately, that cliche but true! But I'm not completely crazy, so I will be doing my "me" things five days a week, Monday through Friday.

When to start? Hmm...:) 

The Return...

I've been absent for a while.

Truth is, I lost sight of what I wanted this blog to be about. Or perhaps more accurately, I didn't start with a clear vision and was determined to figure it out as I went, and then it became something that I'm not. Too design heavy, too narrow, too contrived.

I'm not a contrived kind of gal. :)

The name of my blog is what brought me back and gave me a focus once again. Grace and humor are my goals in life, and they're a work in progress. So I think this blog is here to chronicle this fun little journey! And so it shall.
