  • “Becoming” by Michelle Obama

    Empowering and surprisingly relatable. READ REVIEW BELOW Rating: ★★★★★ I found myself taking more frequent walks throughout the day, but needed something other than music to keep me preoccupied.

    For the Fright of it All

    Stars and Butterflies

    He walks into the room and I am surrounded by stars and butterflies. His air, his smell, his appearance is even greater than the loveliest of nights.
