I always make sure to make room in my life for fun things! I love spending time with my family, hiking, traveling, going to amusement parks, eating at new restaurants, painting, watching reality tv shows, singing, and practicing my faith.

I also love learning about the brain and how our experiences impact brain functioning. I normally recommend this book to anyone whose experienced trauma.
