Hello, Becky Smith here.

I’m a Cleveland native living in Washington State. After moving around some I gave up life in the swanky cities, New York and Los Angeles for something more serene. I spend my days working in software sales but here at The Free to Be, I get to be me and chronicle my life after a decade long battle with Lyme disease. This blog centers around finding passion in work, exploration of my new city, keeping my health, all while searching for a soulmate, playing with style, and surviving the day to day.

My Lifestyle page is where you’ll find most of my writing stories. I wrote the blog Brew Life With Lyme while going through a grueling treatment for late stage Lyme disease. I began writing that blog only to help others and what came out of it for me was a love of writing. Here is where I get to keep that flame burning but write about things that intrigue me in life. Now that I have it back!

Although I left New York, unique style and fashion follows. Fashion Finds is where I will post pieces that catch my eye.

My Reflections page offers a unique insight into my thoughts and feelings provoked from some of my favorite musical lyrics.

I write because I enjoy sharing the real and raw moments in life and my aim is that you observe that in my writing. I hope this blog inspires you to live your best life. As far as we know you only have one physical body! Feel free to leave a comment or follow me on social media. THANKS.
