| November 16, 2016 | I left out my family’s stop at Lime Kiln Lighthouse in Part I of my San Juan Island series because it honestly deserves its own highlight post. The magic we experienced at this oceanfront was beyond words, and even beyond photos. I didn’t have my zoom lens with me, so […]
Written November 15, 2016 When my family visited me in Washington way back in August (when the sun shone regularly), we decided to visit special areas I had not been to yet. As I was still new to Washington, I had a lot left to explore (and still do despite being here for a few months now…). […]

I’ve experienced a different degree of comfort in South Florida, where daily life was feeling a little monotonous, and I was craving something new. I also needed some time to think and decompress. Thus, I took […]
| November 21, 2015 | Currently, I am grateful for living in Florida. It’s firstly a blessing that I live in a state where: Summer is eternal. I’m sorry life-long Floridians, but 75 degrees is not winter, and when you go can go to the beach year-round, there is no change in seasons. Daily life feels like a vacation. There’s NEVER […]
When we are entirely immersed in the moment, we are astutely aware of our immediate surroundings and the rest of the world disappears. Our thoughts, confusions, and emotional turmoil are irrelevant.
