“Everybody has to leave, everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.” ~Donald Miller Dear Universe, It’s hard to believe a month has gone by and I’ll be returning home later today. When I booked this trip I wondered if a month would be too long. There were moments …
Regent’s Park
Dear Universe, Let me start off by thanking you for this incredible stretch of gorgeous days! Nothing is more motivating to me than waking up to a sunshine filled sky. It inspires me to get up, get dressed and go out and do something. Anything. So today’s morning adventure? A walk to Regent’s Park. It turns out this gem is …
Summer Days, Drifting Away…
“Nobody on the road, Nobody on the beach, I feel it in the air… The summer’s out of reach. Empty lake, empty streets, The sun goes down alone…”~Don Henley Dear Universe, Though summer is not officially over, the end of August always means one thing to me: Back to school, back to work.

I’m not exactly the most rigid, stick-to-my-schedule-need-a-plan-at-all-times person either. I’m a tweeny; I land somewhere between those two.

Kiss, Kiss
“A kiss can be a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation point…” ~Mistinguett Dear Universe, I’ve heard of Arbor Day, Flag Day, National Twinkie Day and even Penguin Awareness Day. But every now and then I hear of a random holiday I never knew existed. That’s what happened yesterday. I was on Twitter when I noticed “National Kissing Day” …
