Well, here I am, Liz Richardson. For those of you how know me, you know I've never gotten into the whole blogging thing. But, I'm stepping outside of my comfort zone and leaping into the cyber world.
For those of you who don't know me, here's my story....the quick version. I was born and raised in Scranton, PA (yes that's right, the home of Dunder Mifflin). I went to Temple University for my undergrad degree. I loved every second of my four years there. I fell in love with the city of Philadelphia. There is something about the skyline at night, the sound of the subway rushing by under your feet, hearing 5 different languages in a few short blocks, the unity of the city when the Phillies are on a winning streak or for those few weeks when the Eagles seem to have a chance....there is something about the feel of that city that I will never be able to put into words, but I love it.
After graduation I had a short stint in Maryland with my college boyfriend, but we quickly returned to Philly. We lived together for a few years, until we didn't...... With a broken heart, I left the boy and the city I loved & move back to Scranton. My world was shattered. Or so I thought.....
Time heals all wounds and all those other cliches people tell you when your feeling down (you know the crap that always ends up being true.) And now a year and half later I am living, what I think is, a brilliant life!
I'm back in Scranton, which in all honesty isn't so terrible. Of course I still miss the City of Brotherly Love, and hope to end up back there some day. But in the mean time, I am HOME. With my family and the friends I've had since sixth grade, and that's pretty incredible. I am working in public relations, which is what I've always wanted to do. Best of all, I will (if all goes as planned) have my Masters degree in May! I am accomplishing so many goals. I laugh every single day. I am the happiest I've ever been.
Imagine if you got the long version!!!
So, why am I starting a blog?
Why not?!
