I’ll try not to bore you with things about me... 
About me sections can be so boring, so I’ll be brief with the humdrum facts, and I’ll add stupid clip art and pictures to make it more tolerable. Sooo, I’m Melissa, but my close friends and family call me Missy. I currently work as an attorney in Columbus, Ohio doing public service law at Capital University Family Advocacy Clinic. I recently gave my notice, and will soon be leaving the position to do the bike tour. I will be Jobless!
For now, I represent victims of domestic violence.
I’ve always been committed to public service, but at this point in my life I’m not so sure about practicing law in the future. Right now, I’m undergoing a bit of a transformation.
The obvious thing about me, if you’ve looked at this blog at all, is that I’m doing a bike trip across America. YESSSSS! So, riding my bike slooowly across the states, is my current dream. Speaking of dreaming, another thing about me, is that I’ve turned into a total daydreamer. I spend a ton of time imagining all the beautiful sunsets I hope to see, and all of the fluffy cloud filled sunny days ahead of me. See below..
So, let’s skip to what I find to be the most interesting part about me. The thing I am most proud of is that I have finally decided to say F%CK YOU to fear, and do something I want to do.
It probably won’t bring me any financial benefit, and lots of people think I’ve lost it, but I’m done letting fear get in my way. Getting over fear, and having some faith in myself was a hard earned battle that I have finally won.
Hallelujah!

Second, I’m happy to say that I know what following your heart means. For once, I’m going with my heart and gut, and I’m not letting my head ruin everything!
I like racing bikes. I race road, and I race cyclocross. I love riding mountain bikes too. I’m fortunate to have great friends and a wonderful family. My mom, two sisters and Nephew mean the world to me. I’m ready to take some risks with my life...in a healthy way.
One of my biggest fears about this trip, is having a terrifying encounter with a bear..., but on the other hand, it would be really cool to see one in Yellowstone.
I used to have a dog, he meant a lot to me. He got cancer and I had to put him to sleep. His name was Oliver. I miss him everyday.
