Forty-Six
In 1975, Saturday Night Live premiered. And I was born. On March 24, at around 3am, my first season began. And somehow, I’ve managed to get picked up for 45 more. I’ve been thinking a lot about age lately. It’s really quite subjective, isn’t it? I think 46 is old...
Miké’s (pron. Mee-kay’s) Story
I went to South Africa junior year of high school. It was an exchange trip. It sounded like a cool trip to do and I wanted to travel abroad just because…We went to Johannesburg and then we went to Cape Town. Honestly, it was an amazing experience. When we...

Yusef visits the Middle East and Sudan
I’d like to preface my comments with a quote from Henry David Thoreau: “Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. Instinctually, we gravitate toward comfort. We are drawn to the familiar. And by that principle, the concept of travel is almost entirely...
Erin in the Dominican Republic
My daughter traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico at 13 years old with her school to study Spanish and live with a host family. I think this trip was important because it gave her an authentic look at a country many Americans equate with tourism. Three years later she was given...

I Am Not My Hair
When I was asked to share my hair journey, I was a little hesitant but decided to go for it and shed some light on my condition.. alopecia. I know women shave their heads for different reasons, but believe me when I say, it hits a little different when you know it’ll...

Hi, there. Welcome!
I spent the majority of my career in the financial field. I tapped into service work, hoping to send kids on service projects, but then Covid-19 happened. I had this whole site just sitting here and thought of doing nothing at all or doing something I’ve always wanted to without reservation. I could write; tell stories, mine and others. I could help others.
That’s how people. everyday. came about. I’ve always been interested in other people’s stories. How did you get here? What happened? What did you say; what did you do? Who helped you? How did you find yourself? What were the lessons learned? I’ve grown from my own experiences and from those of others.
I hope you will join me as I begin this creative journey…
