I haven't written in a long time. I've been so busy with a lot of exciting things. I'm going to start working on my Master's start in June.

An Open Letter to the Man Who Unknowingly Impacted a Student
To The Man at Buffalo Wild Wings, Today, one of my students came to me and told me all about you. He couldn't wait to tell me what had happened the night before.

Dry-ish January
As one of my bucket list items I decided I wanted to take one month (at least) off from drinking any alcohol. Now, in the U.K. apparently, they do Dry January to start the new year off cleaner.

Polar Bears and Waterfalls
The other night I had the most incredible dream. I was walking on a very narrow and rocky path along the mountainside. I know there was someone else with me but I can’t remember who it was or if it was anyone I actually know. I was very scared along this path because I was … Continue reading Polar Bears and Waterfalls
Bucket List Update
I haven’t spoken about my “year of single bucket list” in awhile. It is still a work in progress even if some things have changed slightly. I’m not quite ready to write publicly about some of those changes, but soon enough. Here are some things I have accomplished: 7.) Meditate daily. I miss a few days … Continue reading Bucket List Update
