The answers are simple.
Why Michigan? Because I LOVE everything about living in Michigan. I was born and raised in central Michigan and spent my childhood traveling around Michigan for family vacations. There is not a childhood memory that doesn't involve some trip to northern Michigan. My first and main love is northern Michigan. I am truly blessed to be living in this GREAT state. From the Mighty Mac and her Great Lake freighters, to Lake Superior's might and Lake Michigan's beautiful shoreline, to Traverse City and it's divine wine and cherry produce, to the Upper Peninsula and everything that is simple and natural about the U.P...Michigan is a very unique place and has a beautiful story to tell. We have amazing products born and raised right here. My goal is to share these places, share stories of the past, and celebrate our unique products; Everything Michigan!
Why write a blog about Michigan? I want to share my number one passion with the rest of the world! Currently I am a 3rd grade teacher at a Michigan school district and the thing I love most about 3rd grade is being able to share my passion about Michigan with my students through our Michigan history curriculum. Now, I want to share that very same passion with you!
Will anyone read this blog? I sure hope so, but if not, that it is okay with me too. My goal is to share my knowledge and passion with others. I also want to help spread the word about amazing places in the state in hopes to get others to travel and fall in love with Michigan too. My second goal is to showcase products of Michigan in hopes of possibly boosting our economy. Last but not least, I want to inspire other Michiganders and Michigan lovers to become healthy and lead successful, passionate lives while we enjoy the beauties of Michigan. In reality though, I am doing this for me and to leave a legacy of my Michigan passion for my future children and grandchildren. These are my words...my story and Michigan's story told through my words, thoughts, reflections and pictures. I hope you enjoy this blog. Thanks for stopping by! Please feel free to say hello. :)
