life, travel, stories – Join the journey, Love Raven
Dear Reader, Short, spontaneous trips can be great to revitalize one’s spirits. In my continued work-from-home situation, I am finding it increasingly difficult to focus my attention on my computer screen. While I used to work for over an hour straight without distractions, now, anything longer than 15 minutes feels like a mental burden (yikes!).... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, How much beer can you drink in ten minutes? That question right there was pretty much the theme of the Harpoon Brewery tour and tasting. In my alcohol-production-facility tour and tasting experiences, I have come to find that these attractions come in all shapes and sizes. When I went on whiskey distillery tours... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader Would you read a book even if you have already seen the movie adaptation? As a child, the answer for me was always a hard no, until I saw the movie “Bridge to Terabithia.” The film left me thinking— that can’t be what really happens! … can it? Not long after leaving the...

Dear Reader, Being in the background has its benefits. I am a fan of the side hustle and just this summer, I have made quite a bit of chump change participating in market research and psychological experiments — (more than $20 an hour for easy "work"). However, my most interesting side hustle thus far has... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Do you ever get so excited that you simply can’t get your mind to sit still? As an easily amused person, I feel this way, perhaps, more than normal. But, today, I have more of a legit reason to be excited… I’m going to be in a motion picture! Well, it’s one small... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Making healthy recipes can be more complicated than it sounds. For one, often such recipes require a handful of ingredients you may not have on hand, like arrowhead root, spelt, agave, or coconut sugar. Additionally, at times these recipes substitute natural ingredients, like cane sugar, for more questionable options like stevia, erythritol, or... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, How much does someone’s favorite book say about that person? In the thriller series “You,” by Caroline Kepnes, the heartthrob-serial-killer protagonist, Joe, is surprised to learn that his chipper, middle-aged employee, Ethan, claims “American Psycho” to be his favorite book. Have you read “American Psycho” by Bret Easton Ellis? Maybe, you’ve seen the... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, They say, “the best things in life are free.” And, when they say the “best things” they are probably referring to health, love, family, friends, etc. — which are great, but there are very many other beautiful free things out there! I’m a bit of a scavenger (more here), finding free clothes and... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Young city people on TV sitcoms are always getting themselves wrapped up in the darndest situations. They have the most eclectic interests. You find them attending a Burning Man-esque festival in the desert like in “Crazy Ex-Girlfirend,” taking cooking classes like Monica and Joey in "Friends," or randomly playing laser tag like Barney...
