Get to know me!
Being a social media lite on the web has its perks. On one hand, I get to make posts about all of my favorite things when I’m not consumed with my actual job or home life. On the other hand, I get to consider how fan-girling might come across to a not-so-intended-audience. For example, if I told you all of the million and one thoughts that come to my mind in a day, you’d probably think I’m nuts. However, if I did it in a strategic, curated way, you might think I’m your very best friend.
Nonetheless, I’ve mentally prepared myself for those who do and don’t love my style of content.
This post serves as an “about me” section. I may or may not curate content around items on this list, but, at least you’ll know a a little something about who you’re dealing with. If you’re interested in content about any of the following topics, just say the word and I’m there!
These are a few of my favorite things…
