If you’re gonna have stinkin’ thinkin’, you’re gonna have a stinkin’ life

by Erica

Photo by kmtucker I always laugh when I read this passage in Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love about how: “Sincere spiritual investigation is, and has always been, an endeavor of methodical discipline.

Let’s Leave Room For An Adventure

by Erica

Yesterday, at around a quarter past 4, Sloane told me it was time for me to stop working. She said, “It’s a beautiful day, and we’re missing it. Let’s go out for a walk”. And so we did. We decided to walk to Downtown Ballard and checkout the Seafood Festival. And it was important to [...]

by Erica

I’m in Seattle with fellow Party Crasher Sloane Berrent for the start of what is sure to be an incredible Summer Adventure. For the next month we’ll be visiting 5 cities asking people “What Mobile App would CHANGE YOUR LIFE?” on behalf of our Too-Awesome-For-Words client/sponsor Windows Phone 7.
