today was one of those days where gray skies and seattle gloom were abundant. it’s only 10 am and already i’m sad. i’m not someone who suffers from s.a.d.d. but i do love me some sunshine. my skin craves it! on the days when it fails to show up i’m one unhappy camper. because i’m …
spending time with my friends is very important to me. i believe you have to work hard to cultivate relationships and keep them growing deeper and stronger. the seattle winter/early spring climate allows for a lot of friendship cultivation time! that is how i found myself hanging out with my friend shaquita on capitol hill …
