Latest blog posts
Some of my favorite things to do are reading, listening to podcasts and music, and watching TV shows and movies. Inevitably, while consuming stories and information, I come across quotes that affect me or pertain to my life or the lives of those around me. Most of these blog posts explore those quotes.

Striving or Struggling – What Are You Doing This Fall?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: There’s something about this time of year that inspires a longing to start something new. To set and accomplish new goals.
So… Striving or struggling – What are you doing this fall?
An Ode to The Service Industry (And What It Means to Leave It)
As many of you already know, I have been working in the bar and restaurant industry for twelve years. Twelve years! I put myself through college as a server at a Texas Roadhouse. I then moved to a new city and got a job in a restaurant because I...
A Girl Who Reads – a borrowed prose
