Good morning lovelies,
My name is Alecia Occhipinti and today is the day I enter the blogosphere to share everything in this distractedly driven head of mine. Woo, big moment! I am very excited to begin a journey in blogging and sharing my life with whomever finds it interesting, entertaining, and hopefully even inspiring. I am originally from Orange County, California and I grew up somewhat of a stereotypical southern California lifestyle. I surfed almost every day and passed my days at the beach with friends and family until obligations took over the day. My biggest stresses some days were how many hours of beach time could I get before gymnastics practice. My family is amazing and I will never be able to thank them for everything they blessed me with. My family is one of my biggest passions you will probably hear me talk about them often. My amazing parents were my best friends, and my amazing sister who could not be more opposite of me, but we complete each other. My parents have raised me to have a golden work ethic while inspiring me to grow creatively. I was a much harder worker then your typical teenager. I trained competitive gymnastics 25 hours a week, and took on track, and competitive cheerleading as well as a job. These years leading up to moving away on my own have played a large part in shaping me but a lot has changed since then. I am somewhat young but i have sure gone experienced a lot in my days. In just the past year I have gone from being a tumbling star at Baylor University with an athletic scholarship to your average Arizona State University student that waits tables part time. But I would like to think of myself as anything but average. Through my short time in my adolescence I have become exactly who I was meant to be and who I want to be. Although I always have growing to do, but that’s what makes life beautiful to me. I am constantly growing in my self identity and everyday I find inspiration that influences my life. This blog is inspired by my journey since leaving Baylor University and my ongoing journey to finding myself and finding what makes life beautiful to me everyday. I have done a lot of soul searching and growing since realizing how much of my self identity was built around my title as a division one athlete and i am excited to share this journey with you through my passions of fitness, food, creativity, and design.
