Why It’s OK to Give up on a Book: The DNF Doubt

Image by ecassells from Pixabay For those who don’t know, DNF stands for did not finish. I had to look it up when I first came across it because I’m at that awkward age where I’m a millennial, but I don’t know all the lingo the kids are using these days. Anyway, DNF hadn’t beenContinueContinue reading “Why It’s OK to Give up on a Book: The DNF Doubt”

Audio Books! Can I Get An Amen?

Image by Karolina Grabowska from Pixabay I started listening to audio books a little over a year ago, hesitant to take on the endeavor because I thought, “I can’t possibly pay attention to a story if I’m listening to it.” Of course, that logic is flawed because that’s how I used to take in storiesContinueContinue reading “Audio Books! Can I Get An Amen?”

Wanderlust: North Carolina

I’ve had the pleasure of visiting North Carolina three times with my a cappella group for a conference called SoJam. The first two times, if I remember correctly, were at Duke University in Durham.

Her eyes darted back and forth. She stared at the hand in her grasp.  She swallowed hard and licked her lipsContinueContinue reading “Waiting On the River”

Guardian Angels

This is another one from the Supernatural chapbook I’d made for my friend’s birthday. Originally shared here. “Angel of God, my guardian dear. To whom his love commits me here…” —Old children’s prayer Mom always said angels were watching over me but with what life dealt me, I found that hard to believe. Then IContinueContinue reading “Guardian Angels”

Wanderlust: New York City

Let’s start this travel blogging endeavor with the first trip I remember making that gave me the travel bug. I don’t count Puerto Rico at 1-year-old or Jersey at four because I have no memories of those trips. No, my first official journey into the world of travel happened when I was 8-years-old and myContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: New York City”
