March 06, 2023: I am current on rating all of the swaps I have received. Thank you to everyone that has been patient with me and sent kind words on my recent loss. Your kindness means a lot to me. Take care of yourself and your love ones...

February 20, 2023: I have been traveling for work over the last month. When I returned, my father passed away. I will be traveling over the next week to attend his funeral. With all the chaos, I have not had a chance to get my mail from the post office and ask for your patience during this time. When I am back and able to get my mail, I will post my ratings. Thank your understanding.

January 05, 2022: My home mailbox was broken into and the mail was taken. I am in the process of verifying what I sent out and what was sent to me. If you were my swap partner or I was your swap partner, please contact me. I would like to make good on my swaps. Lastly, going forward, I updated my address to my PO BOX and all swaps should be sent there. Thank you for your understanding.

I enjoy listening to music, reading books, dancing, watching YouTube videos, and singing for my miniature poodles.

When I am not working as an administrative assistant, I like to bake, make inspirational cards for kids that are battling cancer, and weave paracord bracelets to donate to those serving in our armed forces. I have also taken up crocheting blankets for those in need of comfort and love.

Currently, I am learning Spanish. I would love to receive items in Spanish to help me get better at learning this romantic language.

FYI: I am only able to pick-up my mail once a week from the local post office. I will rate my swaps as soon as I can and appreciate your patience.

Lastly, if I had one wish, I would wish for world peace.

I am always looking for new pen pals. If you would like to be a pen pal with me, send me a message. We can figure out the details together!

Also, I am interested in doing private swaps - monthly journals, stickers, postcards. You name it and let's get our swap on. Drop me a message and we can go from there.

I will strive to rate my swap partners appropriately. For instance, if I received a package that met the requirements of the swap, I will rate my swap partner with a five. If I receive no package, then my swap partner will receive a lower rating. In my dream world, all the packages I received would get fives and hearts.

I decided to add this section on books. Currently, my reading goal for 2024 is to complete 62 books. I enjoy mostly reading historical romance, graphic novels, the classics, and some odds and ends. Some of my favorites include:

*The Mysterious Mr. Oliver by Emma Melbourne *Letters for Phoebe by Sally Britton *The Tenacious Lady Blackmore by Laura Rollins *Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen *Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë *Scott Pilgrim Series by Bryan Lee O'Malley

The most tedious part of reading is the never ending list of books to read. I subscribe to Kindle Unlimited and so my list is in constant flux. On this current day, my TBR list includes:

*The Divine Comedy by Dante *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll *Seeing Miss Heartstone by Nichole Van *The Duke's Diary by Ashtyn Newbold *Vexing the Viscount by Allie Kensington *The Vicomte's Masquerade by Sofi Laporte

My last word of advice when it comes to books. If the book does not excite you to keep turning the pages, then it might be time to shelf the book for another time. Time is precious. Do not waste it on books that do not rejuvenate or inspire you. Move on to the next book!
