Happy New Year 2020!
Happy New Year 2020 loves! Wow! Another whole year! I wanted to share a rather different thought that came into my mind via way of another’s Instagram post with the caption: “2019年もありがとう!” or “Thank you, 2019!”
Thoughts This Christmas Season
I always feel that Christmas and the holidays during December are interesting – because they’re filled with a “mixed bag” of feelings, and quite often, I tend to hear more about the negatives. So the question to me becomes this: Why do we celebrate Christmas?
Happy Thanksgiving 2019!
Another year is coming up on a close soon, but perhaps that’s one of the reasons I enjoy Thanksgiving so much – it’s a great time of year to reflect on all the joys the year has brought. Sometimes years bring struggles and hardships, but I often find upon reflection, that believe it or not, I am grateful for those as I am the joys too.
Happy Halloween 2019!
Very quick little note to wish you all a Happy Halloween 2019! I hope you are all able to experience and enjoy this fun holiday with good friends and sweet things (and maybe a few surprising tricks too!). Dress up a little crazy, be someone else for a few hours, and remember that life can indeed be fun too.

#Harlana2018 – Be True to Yourself
There are always going to be days where you question if you should be fighting for something you want or finding ways to compromise with others One of those kinds of days are wedding days (and all those leading up to one). And for Alana H., she found that trusting herself was the best way to come to the answer to that question each and every time as she planned her wedding.
Travels: Miyajima
Today, I’m sharing with you all my experience at Itsukushima (厳島), more popularly referred to as “Miyajima” (宮島) or “Shrine Island”, located southwest of the city of Hiroshima (広島). As one of the “Nihon Sankei” (日本三景), or “Three Views of Japan” coined by the scholar Hayashi Gaho (1618-1688), scholars consider it one of the most scenic and beautiful sites in all of Japan… and that’s an understatement!
The Tragic Burning of Notre Dame
As I write this, my heart aches for the people of Paris, France, and the Catholic church who have lost much of Notre Dame. Watching the burning of this magnificent building was gut wrenching.
