It’s been a busy year for me. And I mean busy. I’m not usually the one that feels busy- I have time to call people, take time to recreate (a little, anyway) and really be ok with the world. But 2019 has just felt busy, and it’s not a feeling I particularly like. I feelContinue reading “1st Trimester Is Almost Done… Thoughts on 2019 so far”

On Killing and On Combat- Book Reviews
On the advice of a friend, I recently read the books On Killing and On Combat by Lieutenant Colonel David Grossman.

The Greatest Showman- Movie Review
I went to see the Greatest Showman again last night, and enjoyed it the second time, almost as much as I did the first time.

I thought theContinue reading “The Greatest Showman- Movie Review”
