Prologue

Starting the story -- a blank page, a new landscape. 
I'll write myself a bright eyed heroine, standing on the edge
with arms, heart, wide open. 
A resilient woman, she'll struggle. 
She'll stumble and fall, but always get back up and smile at the sky. 
A successful character, she'll relish the change. 
She'll take it in like a breath of cool air on a starry night.

In less than two months I will be boarding a plane to start a new chapter of my life -- in the Netherlands. I am beyond thrilled to have this opportunity; a chance to see the world, learn a new language, discover new friends, and broaden my horizons. Living abroad has always been a dream of mine and I still can't believe it's coming true. Pinch me. 

With all of this excitement comes plenty of anxiety and fear. This is a huge change. I'm leaving an amazing life in Madison. and most of all I packing up my entire life and doing it in under 2 months. Thats a lot to wrap my head around. So, for now, I'm just taking it one day at a time. Just like April, one poem at a time. 

Stay tuned for more info and updates on this crazy adventure.
