This is a guest post by Gina Kelly. I love tea. I’m always on the search for new flavors. I scan the health store shelves and get excited when I read about the health benefits of each leaf. Admittedly I’m a tea fanatic but I wasn’t always such an advocate. I used to shrink away when…
In the previous Tanzania safari post I gave you my top 15 safari pictures. Today’s picture post is completely dedicated to monkeys. In Tanzania you’ll see Vervet Monkeys, Olive Baboons, Blue Monkeys, and more. They travel in very large packs and don’t show too much fear of humans. The baboons walk with an air of…

It’s easy to paint the picture of the shy little girl. I was that girl. Not with people I was very comfortable with, but with just about everyone else. I remember being in kindergarten at the beginning of the school year and not wanting to speak. It was as simple as that. All the other…
