My blog is called Chapter Five because I started writing it at a time when I really felt like my life turned upside down and started over in a new direction. The first entry was written during a trip to California, a trip that I booked at the very last minute and took by myself. I drove to California not certain that I was actually going to come back, and I stayed there about a week mulling over my options. A few things had happened that year that really pulled the rug out from under me, and I knew that I had to get rid of my feelings of regret and defeat and push forward in ernest to create the life I wanted.

Things turned around quickly and became what I felt to be the best, and fifth, distinct stage of my life. Writing about it all has really helped me adapt to all the changes that were happening, and the blog has become my chosen vehicle for personal growth. Chapter Five is all about friends, enjoying life, and rediscovering myself. I’m doing my best to improve and learn, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.
