French Fry Love

Fair warning. This post is going to be blunt. Here goes: You’re a drug addict. And so am I. Any time we ‘enhance’ food to make it taste better, we’re doing so to get a little higher than we would’ve otherwise. If, on the other hand, you’re someone who goes to the grocery store, buys […]

The Stories We Tell

We are made up of our memories and the stories we tell about both ourselves and our experiences in the world. When it comes to personal growth and evolution, I believe it is crucial to take a close look at these stories and be as honest as possible in our assessment of them. Here’s why: […]
