I’m a simple gal. It doesn’t take too much to make me happy. Give me someplace with coffee. Like, really good coffee. Not from a big chain, give me the local one. That’s my number one favorite. Does this spot also have books? Perfect. I’m there. Some of my favorite coffee bars where I live…

I haven’t thought about this one in a while… but I think more than anything I want to give people the impression that I’m kind, and that I care. My natural tendency is to take things too seriously, so another thing that I try to impress on people is that I do indeed have a…

My two favorite websites these days? YouTube and Bandcamp. Yep. Bandcamp. And YouTube. Music is what gets me through my days, my weeks. And I love reading, so I like watching book review videos, along with journal videos. Annotating videos. I don’t have many other websites that I follow and read regularly. I prefer my…

If I could re-live an age of my life, I don’t think I’d want to. I’ve made my share of mistakes and those experiences have helped to make me who I am today! What does sound appealing though is to have the freedom and the capacity to enjoy a summer off, kind of like I…

Maybe you’ve noticed it too… so much divisiveness. But most people want the same things- safety, enough food and a safe place to live, family and friends. And believe it or not, the fact that we are here on earth at this precise time, is somewhat of a miracle. That’s not to say that life…
