Reading is something I dove into as a kid, and never quite let go. I admit, that while I was in college and grad school, reading on top of all the reading I already had to do, wasn't as common. I dove more into tv series and movies in my downtime, but reading never quite ...
What’s your new audio obsession?
Reading. It used to feel like a chore, and some of us used to run to the cliff notes versions for high school. Pride and Prejudice, again? No Thanks (sorry to those who loved it). However, I did read a ton growing up and it was the perfect escapism. I was a big fan of ...
Do you own enough books?
One of my favorite things to do on a relaxing day is go to a bookstore and peruse the newest fiction books, especially the thrillers and suspense novels. Typically I'll walk out with one new book, especially to support the local book retailers despite being able to buy online for cheaper. It would be a ...

Escape without Escaping
Sometimes you need a little escape from reality. An escape to bring you back to when you were a kid or allow you fill someone else's shoes. It's easy to binge watch and escape into a show or movie, but instead why not take a break from life and digital. Give your eyes a break ...
Cultivating strong habits
Written by contributing blogger, Audrea Laffely. Habits are extremely important. Our daily habits form the type of life we lead every day, and the type of person we are. I myself used to have some very bad habits that were ruining my happiness, health and productivity. They were the type of habits that didn’t benefit me, ...
Escaping out of Digital
Having seen Saved by the Bell still airing reruns on TV over the weekend, I couldn't help but think back to what it was like before everyone having a smartphone and "living online." Long gone feel the days of running around looking for a payphone and waiting for a phone call. Checking our answering machines, and ...
reading made simpler
We all have our excuses. I don't have time. I have other things to do. I don't want to carry a book with me. My commute is too hectic. But reading has truly never been easier, and I dig it. First I took the leap a few years back into the Kindle and all the digital ...
