  • What You Take for Granted

    It’s easy to take life for granted. I have a butt-shaped indentation on my couch to prove it. Every morning I go from my bed to my desk to my couch. Most days I muster up enough energy to go to the gym. But I spent the majority of my waking hours planted in a…

  • Creative Friday: DIY Snow Globe
