One tradition I have grown to absolutely love and cherish over the past five years is an annual trip to the pumpkin patch!
Candle making for a chill Sunday funday
I have been on a mission to create my own Sunday funday experiences. I have several friends who call Dallas home and I swear they are always having the most fun on Sunday afternoons and evenings.
Finding my way back to writing
I am really asking myself why my love of writing and sharing my thoughts has not translated into the discipline necessary to maintain a writing and publishing schedule on this blog.
What I’m reading in 2021
Let’s face it. With all the time we have on our hands in the midst of this pandemic, one of the best things we can do with our time is read. I say this after spending countless hours binge watching the latest series, movie, or reality show available on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Max …
In New York anything can happen
I recently took a work trip to New York in the middle of January. I know, that sounds like a bad idea. Ironically, it was unseasonably warm in NYC and I was able to enjoy a stroll through Central Park and a night out with arguably the funnest crew ever. This year, I actually purposed …

Kid Fury and Crissle gave Seattle an oasis of blackness with The Read Live
I have been a faithful listener of The Read podcast for a while now. My Thursday routine wouldn’t be complete without my weekly dose of Kid Fury and Crissle.
