2015 was unlike any other. My first year since the beginning of my memory where I haven’t spent my year going to school. A year that brought me many notable sunrises accompanied with the tingling of excited anticipation for what the upcoming day may hold. Don’t get me wrong, 2015 was one Hell of a chaotic roller coaster. But despite facing many demons I am proud to tell you I’ve come out ahead. For better 2015 has formed me into a more grateful person who understands the value of sweating the small stuff if you […]

Sunday Surfin’: Thanksgiving
A holiday centered on eating an elaborate meal with friends and family. Yeah, I’ll admit to loving Thanksgiving. I’m incredibly grateful this Thanksgiving to actually be able to celebrate with my family on Thanksgiving day. For the past few years working in the restaurant industry meant working on the holiday. If it were my restaurant (not yet, but soon) we’d always be closed Thanksgiving day. Seriously this is America, people. Can we close on at least one of the biggest National Holidays? Sheesh, buinesses everywhere get it together. Actually while we’re at it, close on […]
Je suis le monde.

Such a tragedy has united much of the world to stand alongside Paris and let them know we are on their side. But what of the […]
And The Liebster Award Goes To…
Woah! What a week. I’ve had a lot of awesome news these part 7 days, some of which I’m not quite ready to share with the world (NO, I am NOT pregnant.) Coupled with my favorite holiday, Halloween, of which we all got an extra hour of this year I’d say it was a week well accomplished. Thanks for coming through Daylight Savings Time. And hello, November! I can’t hardly believe this year has gone by so quickly, but it’s not time to reflect on that just yet… One of the amazing things I woke […]
Yes Woman! Why Saying “Yes!” Will Make You a Better Traveler
Sometimes silly things stick with you. Sometimes you study so hard you still remember the quadratic formula 7 years after needing it(negative ‘b’ plus or minus the square root of ‘b’ squared…) Sometimes you don’t try at all, but you remember every moment of a first date. Sometimes you remember truly silly things like a Jim Carrey movie you once watched that changed your life. Alright, so maybe Yes Man didn’t singlehandedly change my life, but it is one of those random things that lives in the back of my head. If you haven’t seen […]
