It's been two months since my last post?! I haven't blogged in so long, and for good reasons. 1.I GOT A NEW JOB. (Check that off my quarterly goals list!) I'm now a graphic designer/marketing associate with a bank in the greater Boston area. It is a massive improvement from my first job in terms… Continue reading Oh, Hey
I've started noticing something lately. While we are all guilty of what I am about to talk about, some are far more guilty than others. This is especially true when it comes to the work place.

I'm part of a fabulous, large writing community on social media. I adore each and every one of them and how they positively pollute my news feed with the energy I need to sometimes stay motivated when the writing gets tough. If it wasn't for these like-minded, determined, artistic individuals who love literature and writing as… Continue reading It’s OK to Dream Big
