A Forgotten Dream
As per the writing challenge posted by a fellow blogger, …..from the Bungalow, I am going to write a “musical affinity” post. The intention behind this challenge is to share good music, to encourage thoughtful writing and to introduce people to new blogs they may not be aware of.

Sunshine
Ever since I arrived in the world of being a grown up, I have felt a lot of pressure to find a label for myself. I’ve heard lots of things about who I should be and labels that others thought would suit me. Though everyone’s suggestions for the most part came from a place of love, … Continue reading »
I need some help.
Dear Friends, As you may or may not know from reading my blog, my laptop recently died. It is fried. You see, in August it started turning on only sometimes and turning off when it very well chose to…. even if it had enough battery juice. As of right now, it’s been looked at by … Continue reading »
Let me introduce myself.

Regardless of whether or not … Continue reading »
It’s not always easy being a Professional Sunshine Spreader
It’s not always easy being a Professional Sunshine Spreader. I’ve been trying to stay positive lately, but truth be told- it’s hard, and I’m having a difficult time keeping my chin up. I’m in a very remote area of Minnesota (Population around 1,000), working in a business that is not making any money and honestly, … Continue reading »
The “L” Word.
A few months ago when I was going through a particularly uncomfortable growth spurt, a friend reached out to me in an attempt to help. I wasn’t expecting the genuine assistance and it took me by painful surprise. You see, he left a long message on my phone saying something along the lines of, “You … Continue reading »
