The PRESSURE to craft the perfect, premier post! It's a rainy Sunday afternoon in Oklahoma City, and I'm perched at my favorite coffee shop table-- headphones in, Halsey and Sylvan Esso on repeat, white mocha within reach. And the possibilities are endless with the launch of my new site! I've been working and contemplating hard on this, so thank you for stopping by.
Writing has always been my first love. At six years old--at camp writing letters home to friends and family during Quiet Hour--I realized the therapeutic power it has over my life. Despite being on TV, I still think the way I communicate best is through written word. Over the course of time, mix in a love of photography, travel, cooking and what I believe to be the most interesting job in the world... You've got the perfect recipe for a personal blog. And hopefully you'll stick around for what is to come!
My wish is to use this space to document what I've got going on in my life. I want you to get to know me, and I hope to answer your questions along the way. In my line of work, I get daily "viewer questions"--'Markie, when do you wake up?' 'Where are you vacationing next?' 'What lipstick do you use on the news?' This was a personal favorite--'Do you date grandpas?' The answer to that, good sir, is a resounding no. But thank you. You name it... I've been asked it. And I plan on turning your inquiries into posts!
Before me are a million adventures left to take, meals to prep, milestones to reach and new people to meet and be inspired by! So here goes EVERYTHING.
xo,
