Radio Station KFKD and Jealousy
This week as I read through two chapters of Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott, the two chapters focused on the inner workings of the writer’s mind. More specifically, both deal with negative thought patterns and how to extinguish that inner critic. Every writer goes through a period of negative thoughts and jealousy so these chaptersContinue reading “Radio Station KFKD and Jealousy”
Stitch Fix #9
For the first time ever my Stitch Fix actually snuck up on me and I was completely surprised when I found my box on my porch after school. I had been so caught up in my life, new diet, sick child, and school work to remember that it was about time for my next StitchContinue reading “Stitch Fix #9”

Day 57: November 7, 2016 My week was off to a busy, but great start.
