Greetings from the land of Bacon, Grits and Sweet Tea!

Hi Y'all!

Well it's true, I've finally joined the bandwagon of the wonderful world of bloggin' (as we folks call it down South). After much time spent of figuring out a name, design and all the fabulous things that go into a blog, I'm up and RUNNIN' (said in my best Forrest Gump voice).

So what's the purpose of this blog, you might inquire? Well it's two-fold: the main reason is to keep in touch with the lovely people I am able to call family and friends, and the second is to share the goodness and beauty the Good Lord has been bestowed upon me thus far in my life. In naming this blog "The Vita Bella" which translates to The Beautiful Life, I wanted to not only share the beauty that God our Creator gives to us each day, but provide an opportunity for us to stop and recognize the Greatness that surrounds us.

So sit back, turn on the tunes (on the right side bar), grab a cup of coffee or wine or both, and let's set out on an adventure full of beautiful surprises that await our discovering!
