Crafting Happiness, One Day at a Time
Last month I picked up a collection of poetry called Virgin by Analicia Sotelo. Not only was I was intrigued by the collection's premise, I wanted to support a Texan writer (she received her MFA from the University of Houston). I really enjoyed this collection.

Good morning! It's hard to believe it's already August 20th. The month is slipping through my fingers. Only 11 days left in the fiscal year and a little more than two months until my test.
