Honey and Venom: Confessions of an Urban Beekeeper Review

Last year, a friend of mine took on beekeeping. While this same friend also had a healthy fear of bees (like myself), she took on this challenge while the great illness was upon us. She attempted to convince me to try it myself (truthfully, why not since I use honey all the time now- stillContinue reading “Honey and Venom: Confessions of an Urban Beekeeper Review”

Dating, Sports and Awkward Silence Commentary

Confession: I have little to no interest in sports. Most of them require my more underdeveloped skills, but I may save that for another post. I’ve received dating advice that I thought was odd.

Adulting: Networking.

I enjoy talking to people, but so quickly I get bombarded with boring questions, unsolicited suggestions and people who look for free labor. I networked a lot when I was unemployed. I had no direction and openly and not-so-confidently told people I didn’t have a job. I wasn’t clear on what I wanted, and anythingContinue reading “Adulting: Networking.”
