Actually, life is pretty colorful here too. Especially with me driving down the road trying to take a picture and shift gears this morning. But how often do you see a sky full of rainbows?

Holy shit. This morning, I found out my freshman college professor had died. After some digging from some friends today (or just a simple google search, actually) we found out it was suicide. When we clicked on the second story, we realized how messed up she had been. Apparently schizophrenia […]
Sunrise God, don’t I wish. While it’s been a rough week back in the real world, the 7 days we spent in Manihi were as awesome as the last time we were there, if not better. Just like last time, we spent a lot of time snorkeling right after sunrise. […]

Ponte Vecchio, Florence I had one of the most wonderful, most eye-opening experiences about a week ago. As many of you know I sell my work on Etsy – a great place to find handmade work by artists & crafters (if you didn’t know that, you should pop on over […]
