I do my best with what I know, I try to be patient with myself, and I'm glad to look back and realize I've definitely improved. Nonetheless, my lack of creativity has not defeated me. I've battled the last 21 years with trying to be artsy and I'm not ready to give up.

Stay Local

August 22, 2014

It’s easy to start to feel trapped with the ins and outs of everyday life. That’s why it’s important to get out and adventure any chance you get.

My new prognosis for the work day blues are driving to neighboring cities and exploring what they have to offer. Lucky for David and I, we live in the best area for this, surrounded by a variety of quaint beachside towns...
