Happy 2019! Now that we are almost two week into 2019 and just about everyone else has already posted their year-end reviews, I decided it was about time to do mine. I didn’t blog much for the month of December. And while I didn’t mention it here, I posted on my Instagram at the beginning …
I’m kind of a wimp. I’m not saying this because I’m looking for someone to tell me it’s not true or for sympathy. I’m just stating a fact. I’m not physically strong. I get tired easily. I’m what you might call “sensitive.” If I eat the wrong thing it can really throw my body off, …

I am afraid. I am afraid when I walk from my car to my apartment at night. I am afraid when it’s dark and I am alone in a grocery store parking lot. I am afraid when I am home by myself and I hear a strange noise. I am afraid when I stay in …
One Little Thing is a new series of posts that I am trying out where I write a short post highlighting one place, experience, or product from my travels. I want to be able to talk about things that I like that I maybe haven’t been able to work into a post in another way. …
I love books. I have loved books and reading since I was a kid. I struggled to learn how to read, but even before I could read on my own I loved being read to. Once I finally cracked the code to reading on my own, reading soon became one of my favorite things to …
Spain is a country practically bursting with churches.
