About This Blog

My name is Tabitha. My heart if full of wanderlust, and I seek adventure regularly. If you're reading this, I am about to embark on the scariest journey I've ever taken-- well a year from now. Follow me as I say goodbye to the place I've called home for a couple decades now, as one of my best friends, my dog, and I move cross-country!

If you're a CrossFit newbie like me, there are tons of videos provided on the website for the lingo, exercises, etc!

Also, I had my first day at work today. I think I'm gonna like it a lot. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to transfer once I'm on the west coast! 

I haven't been this happy for so long. The feeling of working toward a goal is so inspiring. I want to live the rest of my life inspired. And I know that's up to me. I may not have all the secrets, or the meaning for life completely buckled down, but I do know this: I am in charge of my destiny. 
We get so stuck in the who's, or what's, or when's, or why's, and how's, that we forget to live. We forget to stop and take a breath of fresh air, or admire a sunrise or sunset, and saddest of all, we forget to be thankful for what we have. 
Yeah, the possessions and "stuff" we have are great: however, we have the greatest gift of all.. LIFE!
You're alive. Yes, you. So start living. 

I'm 20 years old. Roughly a quarter of my life is over, and you better bet the last part is gonna rock. 

Here's to life.
Here's to love. 
Here's living.

-Tabitha
