Today I will celebrate Thanksgiving with my family; the first one I will be home for in the last four years. Despite any historical discrepancies between the pilgrims and the native Americans, I do appreciate how the holiday has evolved. With it, there is the chance for family and friends to come together, share a … Continue reading
Over the last couple of months, I took a break from blogging, sharing, and being a part of the constant hyperactivity of the internet, and it was probably the best decision I could have made.
