This blog is about the places I go: physically, emotionally, mentally and everything in between. It's my attempt to sort out my thoughts with the talents God has so graciously bestowed upon me.

More often than not, it's a collection of what's on my mind most recently. I love finding other websites and blogs that are useful to me, and my hope is that something here might be useful to you.
