The Beginning

Anyone ever read the book (now critically acclaimed movie) Eat, Pray Love?  Well, if you haven't you should!  I read it while I was going through some rough stuff in my personal life (I won't bore you with the gory details of ex-boyfriend issues) and believe it or not, it was one of the many things that helped me get through all the tears and stop hiding in my one bedroom apartment and want to actually go out and live again...well I saw the movie and was inspired to write about my experiences, what I learned, how I would grow, and what it all ends up to be...BUT who writes books now days?  Lets blog!

This would be my first blog...ever...like in life, so please forgive me if the format of this is not the usual (aka apparently you needed an origin blog post) and if I don't meet standards, but I thought that this might if anything give you (my readers - all 2 of you...haha) the insight/inspiration to get out of your shell and try something that literally puts you into an element that you are not comfortable with or makes you expand beyond what you thought possible!  Because...as some wise person once told me, that is the ONLY way to live!

For some background = Daley Tomato is somewhat of an inside joke - but simplified, my boyfriend and I agreed that no matter how poor we got (both being in grad school and all) we would always have enough money for a DAILY tomato (one of my fav veggies)...so there....the daily tomato was a taken url so, DALEY Tomato (its my name!!!! - get it????) became the blog name...thanks honey for the stroke of genius!
