I should probably remind you that I, by nature, am a perfectionist. I like things to be color-coordinated, labeled, just on time (if not early), exactly right, well [Continue Reading…]

Today, I thank God for… Fresh, clean clothes that smell of lavender One curl on the right side of my face that I fight every morning Taste of mint tea in the library The last day of the last first month of school Laughing and cleaning carpet with family Kris Vallotton’s life-changing words for a second [Continue Reading…]
