The lionfish is not wanted in Florida waters. It’s also incurring the wrath of Caribbean island nations and fishermen and divers around the Gulf of Mexico and the southern Atlantic. Essentially, it’s the fish version of an uninvited guest that crashes your wedding and eats all your food –…
My cap and gown arrived in the mail yesterday. WOW. This is actually happening, isn’t it? My educational journey is drawing to a close. I’m in the home stretch, the final portfolio development classes, and in just 66 days, it’ll be time to walk across the stage, shake some hands, and pose for a picture…
As of tomorrow morning, I am officially twelve weeks away from my last day of class at Full Sail University. Three classes. Three more grades. Just eighty-four more days of instruction and this chapter of my life comes to an end. I cannot believe how quickly time has passed. I started working on my BFA…
Some Irritating Facts About Being an Unpublished Author.

I’ve been missing in action for several days on both of my blogs. Despite my personal life slowing down [no more brothers or sisters to get married, woohoo!] and my school schedule leveling off, I’ve not found time to post on here in several days. Why, you may ask? A few nights ago, after getting…

As someone who struggles with motivation [and religiously enjoys procrastination], I feel like I need to print this and display it prominently in my office: Photo Credit: MBAOnline Of course, my love is for Full Sail University above…
My apologies for the long hiatus! As many of you know, my husband and I moved into our new place a couple of weeks ago and we’ve only just gotten our cable/internet transferred over.
