Recently it's been crazy here. My family has endured some unexpected issues and demolition in our home, but things are much more quiet now. I hope to be able to post a little more regularly soon.

Recently, I've revived my childhood love of paper crafting - origami, card-making, etc. While I've been doing the cards for a long time now, I decided to find some new ideas and techniques to try and came across a Youtube channel with lots of inspiration. I just made a special holiday one for... Continue Reading →

Personal Post: “Face Your Words”
As I work on myself more and more, I realize many of the things I've been guilty of that society has convinced us are normal but are actually detrimental to self-esteem, compassion, integrity, and growth. For instance, many people seem to think it's funny to ridicule others who make assumptions based on a lack... Continue Reading →

My latest contribution to The Weekly Smile prompt ties in with a new topic I'm introducing to S.D. : hobbies and skills.
