What It Took To Realize- Chapter Three
“What?” I cried. “New York City! For the weekend!

A New Way To Keep My Sanity
I hadn’t read a book in so long I forgot why I love reading them (and just as importantly, writing them!).

When I happened upon a wicker basket in the river, the sobbing died down.Continue reading “What It Took To Realize- Chapter One”
Wonderland
Sunday. Lazy day. The only day I get to have a lazy day. I work Monday through Saturday, and even after leaving the office I stay up until about one in the morning working on my laptop.
