  A Year in Review: 2015

  It’s that time of year again. The time when I reflect back on my year, 2014 was a reflection, but I prefer the Year in Review of 2013, so that’s the title of this one. All in all, 2015 was a strange year, a good year, but a strange one. Looking back at it, it’s…

  Yin to My Yang: Soulmates

  In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Yin to My Yang.” Let me be quite frank, I don’t know if I believe in soulmates the way that people mean the term. I think there are different kind of soulmates, and maybe that the soulmate isn’t just one, I think that there can be more than one…

  Question of the Week: Am I Over Packing?

  I would call myself an over packer, I’m afraid of forgetting something important (i.e. Chew Bunny), after watching countless packing videos, reading countless packing lists, and  packing and repacking my suitcase, I’ve come to the conclusion that I am definitely overpacking.
