Welcome Party

Hello and welcome fellow readers,

Thank you for checking into my blog! If you used to read my previous blog, 
thank you so much for transitioning with me, I really appreciate it. For a 
while now, I had been playing with the idea of starting a new blog because 
I felt like I needed something creative to do in my free time but that also 
made me feel like I was making a difference, so I started making a list of all 
the topics I would discuss on said blog and found that I have a lot I would 
like to share. After running the idea by some family members, one of them 
gave me the wonderful title “Keep Pace with Damaris,” and I absolutely fell 
in love. “I suppose, I thought about the idea of keeping up with you physically 
as you live your life through dance and travel but also as you discuss your 
experiences and topics, or essentially bringing people up to speed or ‘up to 
pace’ with you.”

So here I am, starting a new chapter in my life by starting this marvelous 
(or so I hope) blog! To start, I want to let you know that I will attempt to 
keep most of my personal information on a need to know basis. I’m sure 
over time my personality and life will start to show where my avid readers 
(if there are any - *fingers crossed*) can piece me together. I will state 
some of my personal opinions and do not expect everyone to agree. Please 
note that I do not wish to offend anyone, so if something comes off as such 
then I have done so unintentionally and hope that you will let me know.

As for some things about me: I recently graduated from college with a 
Bachelors in Chemistry and went on my first trip to Europe soon after. 
I have previously traveled to South America, Mexico, and a few other 
states within the U.S. I currently reside in Southern California. Some 
of my hobbies include swing dancing, reading, and creative writing, 
which is one reason I was drawn into starting this blog.

I decided not to focus on just one subject but to touch upon a wide variety of 
topics that I have contemplated often and wish to share with others. Some 
topics may not be as interesting as others, but I hope that you will stay with 
me every step of the way! I am not writing to make money, so if I give a shout 
out, suggestion, or post a link, I am not getting paid to do so. I look forward to 
informing you of all the hullabaloo that has gone or is going on in my life. I will 
officially start my blog with a post about swing dancing some time today, so 
please come back then! Thank you all so much for joining me!

Live every day to the fullest.

Love, Damaris
