One of my favorite books of all time is "Eat, Pray, Love." When I first picked up this book I was really unsure if I would like it, let alone that it would have a great impact on my life. That all sounds like really grand statements I am sure, but I wholeheartedly mean them.…

This epic(ish) life
I don't know about you but my favorite stories have always been the great epics. Where evil has a truly terrifying face and is epitomized in one being that once conquered frees the world of a great hurt. Of surprising heroes that never thought of themselves as heroes- just trying to survive and do the…
My Pinterest Obsession
As always, the holiday season is a whirlwind of to-do-lists and shopping and eating and more shopping and visiting with family and more eating and decorating and wrapping gifts! Whew! I love it but it can get a little crazy and chaotic and once it is over you may feel like it all went by…
Blogging Nomination
Now that finals are over (hooray!!), I can focus on real-life instead of that foggy place called academia. Hopefully, I can also focus on one of my favorite things to do- writing in my little corner of the blogisphere. So, I am very excited to have been nominated for the "Very Inspiring Blogger Award" from http://lilypetal91.wordpress.com/.…
My Musings- Just in time for the holidays

Tid-bits to share
I found this lovely cartoon called "Literary Life" by Posy Simmonds on Kate Morton's blog (who just so happens to be one of my favorite contemporary authors-My Kate Morton Post). I thought it was too funny and wanted to share. I also found out that there is a documentary called "The Pixar Story" that came…
A little boost
From the very little experience I have with writing, I do know one thing. It is possible to get stuck for what seems like FOREVER. Then I start to lose confidence and just want to trash everything I have ever written. I can have as many friends or family tell me It's great and I…
Something fun to do…
So, being in a relationship for almost four years now, it is amazing how we are always finding out new stuff about each other (and the fact that we aren't bored with each other also surprises us.) I have realized that relationships only work if you are really good friends. And I have been incredibly…
Creative Camaraderie- The Lion Awakes
I remember when I was about twelve or so, I picked up The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at the public library. It was a winter evening when I first started reading it and I snuggled up under the blankets in my bed after school and my cat was laying on my feet like…
