Tales and thoughts from a quiet soul and seeker of simple
Image found via Pinterest For those of you who don't know, an awesome thing has been happening in the blogisphere for the past few years called NaNoWriMo -AKA National Novel Writing Month. Essentially, writers of all kinds can accept the challenge to write a 50,000 word novel by the end of November. And this year,…
A few years ago I fell in love with the movie The Holiday with Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Jude Law. Appropriately, it has become a holiday season pick and now I just have to dust it off along with The Grinch and A White Christmas. But don't worry, I don't let my…
So, apparently special packages DO come before Christmas. I just received a signed (with real pen ink, my friends) copy of Elizabeth Gilbert's new book The Signature of All Things. Needless to say, it had the power of flipping a simply ordinary day to a little happy dance jig at the door as my fiancé…

Tomorrow I end my battle with these classes…
About a month ago I challenged myself to start trying new things- at least one thing once a week. I said I would post every week to keep everyone updated on all the new adventures I partook in. Well, I wouldn't say I have failed my challenge- but I have learned that even for someone…
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…
