Weighing in on My Year in Poverty
Last week I posed a question on Instagram. I surveyed to see how many of my followers would voluntarily live in poverty* for a year. The follow-up question was for those who said "no", asking if being a community change agent would alter their answer. The 24-hour survey resulted in a close split. The split …
True Life: I’m Plant-Based…
I try not to be one of those aggressive vegans. You know, the super judgmental, overbearing, Peta-subscribed kind that literally only speaks vegan. And I know at one point I probably was that damn pretentious, so please, charge it to my head not my heart. Now, I try to be cautious and only mention being …
A Poem: Music x Poetry
April is #NationalPoetryMonth. I've enjoyed seeing fellow writers on my feed sharing their new, and even old work. I've always been attracted to the idea of poetry. It wasn't until I gave it a try I grew as a person. Poetry helped me realize less is more. I mean, it wows me when I can …
I Usually Don’t Kiss and Tell…

Dear Denver: You Did Me Well
I recently talked about my new found love for hiking. I know, it's just extended walking--usually at an incline-- however, its a great workout and brings peace of mind. I've always loved nature and outdoors. I collected rocks for crying out loud! In fact, growing up, I'd always rush outside every chance I got. I …
What I Learned While Brunchin’ With Jas’
I loooveeeeeee free things! Free coffee, free meals, free concert tickets--you name it! So when Jasmine Diane announced one last giveaway to Brunchin' with Jas I instantly became geeked. So, why did I desire to attend the fall Brunchin with Jas? Isn't it obvious? I saw this brunch as an opportunity to network with like-minded …
