My Pet Peeves
Everyone has their share of pet peeves. Some are very open about them while others may be a little more shy about them. I personally do not like to complain too much about things or circumstances in this world as I am just thankful to be alive in such a cultured world. However, there are a few things that set me off or fuel my fire.

The Impact of an Era of Injustice
During times of slavery, there was a customary practice known as “buck-breaking”. I will refrain from going into the gory and grotesque details, however, I would like to talk about the lasting ramifications on the individuals that endured this, as well as future generations. Before I begin, I will start by stating that I do not in any way, shape, or form of fashion want to elicit any further hatred nor undue scrutiny for speaking about the past. I personally do not recognize race as a basis for rapport or relationship, but I cannot ignore the lasting impact that certain counts of history have played on my perception of others and the world around me. With that being said, I cannot turn a blind eye to the cries of outrage at current events, nor can I be silent to the screams of souls yearning to be heard. To sum up events I would like to paint a picture….

Under the Fairy Lights
I remember it so clearly; etched into my brain and happily taking up space that had previously been reserved for stress, self doubt, and the unknown. A simple act of love and kindness between two lovers, not towards me at all, but that I witnessed, that once again restored my faith in humanity and, more importantly, in love.

The Dark Pantasm *FerrisBus*
There we were loading the bus. It was a family affair from younger siblings to the older generation we all were getting adjusted in the seats. As we were getting back to head home! We approached what seems to be like a fused version of the Las Vegas Strip with another unknown city.

Dear December Liv OR; Small Things to Make 2021 a Good Year
Dear December 2021 Liv, Do you remember the calendar you bought for 2020? It was September of 2019 and you were visiting a friend in Grand Marais, gallivanting about the breathtaking North Shore in Minnesota. Whilst perusing that endearing little Drury Lane Books store, you happened upon this collection of images of the place you loved–Lake Superior. What better way to get to see so many portraits of that stunning landscape every day than with a wall calendar? And you knew you needed a better way to display your craft show dates and times–it was perfect!
