The Beginning…

It all started with an idea… I was in the my last years of college just starting on a self-discovery journey. To be completely honest, I felt hopeless with what I wanted to do with my career, I had studied criminal justice and social work for the past four years and I started to feel like that was not the pathway I was supposed to be on. Throughout the four years I had taken electives that were based on creativity so I wouldn’t lose that side of me but what I wanted was to find my spiritual side as well as a healthier way of living. Although criminal justice was such an interesting topic to study and learn I knew it wasn’t something I could do in the long run… I am a sensitive butterfly and after I interned for a judge at a courthouse I decided that I was not cut out for this line of work. I needed to let my creative side break free. So I went back to school to study for my master’s in creative marketing, although this journey has been difficult it has felt way more rewarding for me.

This leads me to DonovansCafe, a tribute to my beloved doggy, Donovan, the most handsome and kindest dog that has ever lived. Donovan (Donny) was the sweetest most relaxed dog I had ever known, he was playful observant, and patient with everyone. Every time he wandered into a room it put a smile on everyone’s face, when I was thinking about creating this blog I was trying to come up with a name, I have always wanted my little cafe in a small town named DonovansCafe so why not bring the name to life beforehand. I know one day I will be able to open my own little cafe but for now… I can share my knowledge on health & wellness digitally.

So for now as I sit on this Island, Martha’s Vineyard, cozied up on the couch with my computer and a book I hope you can come along with me on my journey as I share my thoughts with you.
