A girl and her cat take on the world with nothing more than a cup of tea and a good book and enough dreams to fill the universe.
It's Monday evening and I am making good on one of my New Years Resolutions. I promised myself at the end of 2015 that I was going to begin writing again in 2016. I would blog three times a week and try to write 15 minutes a day. Writing 15 minutes a day has not... Continue Reading →

This happened to Miss Adams this week. She came into class on Wednesday and began telling me how this woman who taught high... Continue Reading →
Recently, I've been slacking in my blogging and in the effort I put into just about everything. I've been burned out for awhile now and it's catching up with me. I can't keep continuing to care and things are getting more and more demanding, asking that would I please reconsider and dedicate more of myself... Continue Reading →
