Tales and thoughts from a quiet soul and seeker of simple
Have you ever read a story and felt like you knew an intimate part of the author? In sharing their ideas and characters with us, authors build a bond of unspoken friendship. Just think about it, an author can spend years to a lifetime creating a character(s) whom readers will come to know more deeply…
I have to admit- I am absolutely horrible when it comes to staying updated. I spent the last year with no cable- just Netflix and Hulu- therefore, I have not been routinely checking the news. But, now that I am staying with my parents for the summer, I get to stay a little more in…
You may, or may not, have realized that Tuesday came along and passed with no post from me. Whoops. Well, not really. I came to the conclusion that Tuesday is just an awkward day to make a daily post. Therefore, I would say to look for a "new things" post towards the end of the…
I've made a crazy, CRAZY decision. Well for me it is anyways. So, in my striving to be more in the "now" (yes my friends, Eckhart Tolle has won me over) I am going on what you could call an Epic Quest. However, I don't think it is as epic as AliceatWonderland but for me…

But I did have something quite marvelous happen that was like a screeching stop. The best kind, SPRING BREAK. Thank goodness!…
Sometimes when life gets you down and you just don't know how to pick yourself up, what do you do? Well, I'll tell you what I do, or actually I'll show you. Warning, it is insanely cute and adorable. So if you are cute squeamish.... well I warned you. Also, I have a Panda obsession.…
Some Valentine's Day fun!: So, today is Valentine's Day. Most single people absolutely despise this day. But, even before my Facebook status went from "single" to "in a relationship" I LOVED Valentine's Day. In fact, this is probably my least favorite Valentine's that I have ever had, but that is entirely my own doing. I've…
