The past few days have been painfully divine. I love learning. It's one of the reasons I've gotten so far in my career. Learning is a job in itself. I'm not saying I retain everything I study, my father always taught me most humans are educated behind their intelligence. Still, when you're the youngest in a house of five kids like I was - you get good at finding ways to entertain yourself. I read a lot. And as I grew up I took every opportunity...
After a couple of day hiatus, I am returning back to the world. It was an entertaining five-day spree of flying around, sister cackles, hugs, puppies along with the usual plotting and scheming.

I'll back my writing up, to a certain degree - but my phone? That's too much work. In addition to the smashing of my iPhone6, I...
Happy after Halloween morning! Last night naturally did not disappoint, we were up down and everywhere in swirls of costumes decorating the streets of the city. It felt good to feel good... to be out and about and happy. I haven't really stopped thinking about my experience on Friday or how it's literally changed how I had been feeling as of late. All I feel like doing is working on my book. It's amazing to see work come to completion. For me...
