Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #10 – Shea

Most couples meet through friends or dating sites or at church or the bar. The story of how Shea and I met is a bit more random. Her parents were at a funeral and happened to be talking to someone from my hometown. They mentioned their daughter was starting university in the fall and needed […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #7 – Not-For-Profit Cultural Sector

Like a lot of people who convocate with a Bachelor’s degree, the biggest question is “Now what?” In 1996, I had an expensive English degree, a specialization in creative writing, and not a lot of other options. (The other big question you get asked, especially with an English degree is: “Are you going to be […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #6 – Comedy

After another week away from this series (honestly, I forgot I was doing this “How I Became Me” series last week after working a 1-9pm shift and, as I often do, whipping off a zero-effort post to keep my daily post streak alive instead of doing something a bit more in-depth and time-consuming.)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #5 – Sociability

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #4 – Travel

Not sure if I’ll end up blogging much when we’re in Mexico next week but I thought making “travel” #4 in this series would be a good way to head into our holiday either way. The funny part is that my love of travel actually starts from a weird piece of family trivia – I […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #3 – Books

If I’m doing a list of the 10 things that had the strongest influence in who I’ve become at the midpoint of my life, it’s telling that the thing I jump to as the third most influential thing in my entire life, after family and after friends, is books. In fact, I could probably do […]
