Thank you, Cassie!!!! Too many interests and hobbies! Haha. Hannah Ashe and I (from Chez Hany) came up with the term β€œhobby whore” lol

Haha! I'd say you haven't even begun to list hobbies there really, beyond photography! Maybe there's more you can add to the list πŸ˜‰

I follow you because you are a gifted storyteller. So less about "advice", and more about what you observe when the parts of your life collide, align, intersect, make you feel big (or small), what makes you laugh and cry, and how that inevitably shapes your hopes and dreams. As long as you're writing, I'm all in!

(And happy birthday! πŸŽ‰)
