The Good and Bad of Being Highly Intuitive
We all have different facets and quirks in our personalities. I always enjoy discovering these in others as I get to know them. One of my strongest traits is that I am highly intuitive. I know they say women tend to be that way more than men, but it’s also part of my personality. AsContinue reading “The Good and Bad of Being Highly Intuitive”
Procrastination Can Be Useful…
In college I discovered the key to motivate me to get my work done: procrastinating working on my papers by writing stories. The rules were simple: when my brain would freeze up or get bored working on the paper, I would open another document and free write without any kind of plan. I just letContinue reading “Procrastination Can Be Useful…”
Why I Love and Hate Wuthering Heights
Have you ever read a book with characters, a world, and a plot so captivating you can’t stop thinking about it? For me, Wuthering Heights was one of those books. The complexity of the characters and the drama paired with the description of the scenery created such pictures and prompted such curiosity I had toContinue reading “Why I Love and Hate Wuthering Heights”
I’m Back…I Hope😊
My baby still has sleep issues. I am still exhausted. But, I thought maybe I can start blogging more informally from my phone, and catch up on reading other people’s blogs, too. We are also moved into our new place now so things feel a bit less chaotic. There is still a lot to unpackContinue reading “I’m Back…I Hope😊”

On March 16, 2022, after a long 19-hour difficult labor, my son announced his entrance into the world with a loud cry.

Holding My Goals Loosely in 2022
Last Year, I had so many goals and plans. Among them was that we would start trying for a child. We were blessed with a healthy pregnancy earlier than I thought, and it definitely made me rearrange all of my priorities. First, I had to learn a lot and had many questions: What can IContinue reading “Holding My Goals Loosely in 2022”
My Lack of Blogging Activity…
There’s a reason I’ve been less active the past six months on WordPress… I’m pregnant! I’m due March 8th with a precious baby boy. With pregnancy, baby prep, publishing my second book and starting my Author Youtube channel, blogging (both writing and reading blogs) definitely took a back seat. I went from meeting my weeklyContinue reading “My Lack of Blogging Activity…”
Howl’s Moving Castle
This is the kind of story that starts out bizarre and increasingly makes sense as it goes along. It starts out like an ordinary fairytale, and has many typical fairy and folk tale elements (seven-league boots, magic, wizards, witches, kings, etc). Yet, there is a self awareness in the story and in the main characterContinue reading “Howl’s Moving Castle”
