About

My name is Krystal Thomas and I am an optimist. Born in Baltimore and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland I knew from age 7 that one day I would call Key West home. Although I did call this little island home on more than seven occasions it wasn’t until 2013 I decided to make it permanent.

The year 2013 changed my life forever; I moved back to Key West from my home state of Maryland (for the 8th, and final time) and I lost my youngest sister Ashlee to cancer. One of my favorite authors, Elizabeth Gilbert, says in times of adversity you can either break down or you can break open. On October 11th, 2013, I chose to break open which I would attribute to shaping the life I live and know now: happy, inspired, soulful, fun, creative, loving, and ridiculously amazing.

This is a blog about stumbling upon happiness in everyday situations and how to live your best life and be your best self. My mission is to continue to grow and learn and to share these adventures through my writing.
