Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
I love the beach! There is just something so relaxing about it for me. I love to lie on the beach with the sound of the waves in the background while I read my latest book obsession. We take a picnic lunch – food always tastes better when you eat it outside, don’t you think? […]
