Recently I’ve been listening to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” on repeat. When’s the last time you took a good listen? I hadn’t listened to it closely probably since I was 13 yrs. old. I had such a visceral reaction to “Life is a mystery; everyone must stand alone”. I am reading over this blog post…
Homeword Bo!
Warning! This blog post is coming to you from Heathrow airport and I am dictating everything! I am also writing this within 24 Hours Traveling straight. At this point, I have four more hours of waiting and then a six hour flight… let’s take a look at what it’s like traveling internationally while living with…
Food Story: Tasting It All
Foooood!! It helps us survive and we all love it AND it’s also the “method” I used to familiarize myself to the city ofBrno. It’s one that includes seeking out as many new eateries as I could find. Part of this was for fun but the other was to push myself to learn to navigate…
Will the Real Crip,Please NOT Stand Up?
I had initially been planning to write about all the food places I’ve been able to check out while being here in Brno but something happened that I felt was more pressing to write about. It’s something that I find really upsetting and vile. In short, the way I’ve been living my life didn’tadd up…

Instead this post will have you all wading around in the moments before I” leapt “and “waited for the net to appear”. Getting around Brno was really the…

Yes, big sister, you are indeed extremely right! Before this trip, Mike and I probably had…
Leaving the Jersey Shyer
A Little Coklyat and a Dash of Gibran Sometimes, a quote can just say all you need in one line, “For even those who limp, go not backwards.”, written by Khalil Gibran. I come from a family of quote lovers. My dad, “Success is 1% inspiration and 200% perspiration.” He’d write them down and then…
Imagine if Princess Leia was Blind…and Living in a Country Far, Far Away…
This blog may not be as exciting as following the exploits of an intergalactic rebellion, but I CAN tell you that my blog will at least have you chuckling and sometimes raising an eyebrow in interest. This is my first blog where the main focus is writing, and this is my first post. While I’m…
