Even before quarantine started in March, I knew I was going to read a lot more in 2020, given that I started the year without a full-time job. What has changed since January is how I choose my books. Before this year, my book choices were primarily based off Reese Witherspoon's book club, or the …
Many of my friends and family know that I am a voracious reader. As a child, I could usually be found reading a book, even when it was bedtime, and I hid under the covers with a flashlight. No meal was complete without a book in front of my plate. No road trip could begin …
With the last calendar year filled with trips, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself at home for a long weekend. Since January, I've been to New York City, New Orleans (Mardi Gras), Pittsburgh (work), San Diego (family trip), Washington D.C., New England (Boston, Maine & Vermont), Las Vegas, and have another trip to NYC …
When I left Atlanta Tuesday morning, the low was 72. the high in Maine was 75. When I returned early Sunday morning, Atlanta was a high of 89. What better time to go to New England where the highs are in the 70s and low 80s? Stats: 1294 miles traveled 6 ice creams 5 days …
I wish I could get in a time machine and redo parts of my life. I loved college for the most part, but now working on a college campus, I feel like I could have done more and taken advantage of opportunities available only in college. Professionally, I know I could have done more when …
We live in a world where hate is the driving force. We live in a world where you are not free to love, but it is okay to hate. It hurts me to see people attack each other because their opinions differ. What's wrong with coexisting? With living next to your neighbor that is a different gender, race, …
Instead of Netflix & Chill (the G version), I will be going old school this holiday season, and reliving my college days. I have no internet or cable at home (financial restrictions and just plain preference - I'll get internet eventually), so I will be reading, watching DVDs and working extra hours. I have an …
I had my “awakening” in 2014. I had a lot of free time — being unemployed & having no money, so the free time led to a lot of self-reflection, and realizing what makes you truly happy. I am a different person than I was four years ago. I'm reminded of this whenever I check …
I watched a movie the other night, The Last Word. Along the lines of The Bucket List, On Golden Pond and Driving Miss Daisy, the movie examines an older person whose own worst enemy is themself, has estranged themself from loved ones, and needs a life-changing experience to re-examine existence. I enjoyed this movie for …
I thought it was a great idea to see The Shack and the latest episode of This Is Us on the same night. I didn't think my body was capable of expelling that many tears. If you know me well, you know I'm not a religious person. I do consider myself to be spiritual. I believe that I am …
