Whether I’m driving, working out or doing any non-writing work, I am almost constantly listening to something!

Giving Thanks
I know that “I’m so thankful for _______” tweets, Facebook statuses and blog posts are a bit cliche, but I actually love reading all of them. It’s kind of refreshing to see so much positivity when I scroll down through my news feed. So I’m jumping on the giving thanks, basic bandwagon with this Thanksgiving […]
