I have always wanted to visit Paris. It is at the top of my bucket list. And even after the events on Friday, November 13, 2015, I still want to visit Paris. Why? Because Paris is a resilient city filled with beauty and love. People around the world — people who have never visited France or Paris, like myself — have come together to show their support for this wonderful city.

6 Things I Want To See in Aggieland
I’m sitting here, watching Texas A&M play Auburn, and I’m already excited about next weekend because I’ll be in College Station, Texas, at the Texas A&M football game!

I watch as people travel, party, change their hairstyle or haircolor, announce their pregnancy and then the birth, announce new business ventures, celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and deaths, and […]

Wanderlust: One Week… One Beach…
Right now, I’m out on medical leave and part of me wishes I could be back at work. But now, part of me wishes I could be relaxing and recouping on a beach somewhere far away from the confines of East Tennessee. I have one more week before I return to work, and one week would be all I need to enjoy some exotic, far away beach. One week… one beach… Here are just a few of the beach destinations currently on my bucket list… 1. Fiji Check out the Likuliku Lagoon Resort on Malolo Island 2. Maldives I love […]
