I won’t sit idly by and watch my life pass before my eyes

A millennial’s coming-of-age story

My name is Emily and I’m 30 years old. I’ve been writing on this blog in fits and spurts since I was 14, originally as “Blackbyrd” on blackbyrd.wordpress.com. I’ve long been enamored by the written word and have scribbled poems and sonnets in countless notebooks since I was 7.

Today I’m a classically trained journalist who has built a successful career in corporate marketing. On this blog I write about my musings while traveling all over the world and riding my bike.

Welcome to my never-ending coming-of-age story.

Thanks for visiting!

    11.) A song from your favorite band. “Blackbird” by The Beatles. The namesake for my blog. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5CUHHGlQg0 Read more

  • The bulletin board

    You can tell a lot about a person by what they have on display in their room/home/office/wherever. All of these items were deemed worthy enough to go on display on my bulletin board. Tell me what you think. Three dried roses (purple, yellow and red). A picture of my daddy with a little puppy version Read more
