At first, it never made sense to me. How does sitting cross-legged while humming bring about inner peace? I think I have even scoffed at the notion before. For those of you who have read my blog before, you already know where this is going. My life and I play this delightful game where jokes …

On the Ending of Summer…
It’s the arrival of that first cool day that excites me most. It signals that my favorite season is soon to come and that the oppressive heat will fade. Fall for me brings life amongst the dying leaves. The refreshing air awakens something within my soul that I can not express outside of the phrase, …
Coffee Stains
I’m a pretty clumsy person who loves coffee. This tends to lead to many stumbling on air moments at high energy along with numerous coffee stains on papers and desks. I always get flustered at the coffee stains, muttering on how silly it was to spill my coffee and how now I have to waste …
Anger
It’s one of the most dangerous emotions and one of the easiest to fall into. I experience anger each morning driving amongst that glorious rush hour and people too busy staring at their phones to pay attention to the road or how to drive. I try not to let it get to me but sometimes …

Finding Home A born and raised mid-westerner, I somehow found myself with roots, well, everywhere. I’ve been painting and drawing since my 2nd-grade teacher in the Bay Area of California entered me in an art contest (California was a two-year hiccup in my childhood, but significant all the same) and called out a passion in …
Cloudy
It’s ironic how my favorite weather is my least favorite state of mind. I like to hail myself as quite the creative, but this boast comes with a cost: the cloudy brain. Flooded with ideas upon ideas, they can get muddled and result in murkiness. Days when I am inspired to sit down and write …
Over Thinking
I like my creative brain, I really do. I love how stories come out of the ether. Mundane situations quickly transform into characters or scenes for me, inspiring new ideas for a story. This leads me to wondering about all sorts of out comes to seemingly typical situations. For example, seeing a man at the …
