Merrily We Roll Along

Changes are afoot in the Josh and Corley house. Dust is getting kicked up out of long-covered corners. Books are being pulled from shelves all willy-nilly. We’re laundry-doing, vacuuming, craigslisting fiends these days. Do you want to know why? BECAUSE WE’RE MOVING TO CHARLOTTE! And SOON. We love Asheville a LOT, but the winds of [...]

What a terrible rule!

Spotted on Lexington Ave. in downtown Asheville. Also not allowed in this antiques shop: candy, puppies, fun.

My New Online Portfolio

Hello, friends! Today is the day that I “launch” my online portfolio. Would you be so kind as to click the image below, take a look around, and let me know what you think? I’m a little nervous and I would LOVE to hear your feedback. Thanks a bunch!

Caine’s Arcade

If you haven’t seen this yet, please watch it today! You don’t have to hit play now — 10 minutes seems like a big chunk of time in a busy day, I get that. But on your lunch break or tonight, after dinner or right before bed — do yourself the favor of pausing for [...]

Springtime Songs

To celebrate Springtime springing up all over, I made you another mix tape! Spring is just the greatest, isn’t it? Romance, bicycles, lip gloss, bubblegum…all the best things come out in spring. I made this playlist with a springtime day in mind – waking up full of hope, sun shining, birds chirping. Moving through the [...]

Do what you can

I saw this post over at Adorned and it resonated. Maybe it will strike a chord with you, too. Things have been quiet on the blog front lately. I owe my silence in part to writer’s block, in part to being busy like a bee, and in part to just not feeling like it. Being a [...]

The Most Important Man, Sleepy, The Reader, and Me

  I love airplanes and airports. I’m not crazy about flying. I get really nervous during takeoff, landing, and turbulence. But the nerves are worth it, because airplanes and airports are where you get to see people at their worst – and their best. Airports are where I started writing short stories. Flying home to [...]

More Hunger Games!

I told you in January about why Katniss Everdeen is my role model. This month, I’m weighing in on The Hunger Games again, but for an article over at E! Online. Click over if you’re interested in reading my comment on why the cast enjoyed their time in Asheville (although, come on. It’s Asheville. We [...]

Reboot

image via slowitdown on flickr “Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.” Mariel Hemingway I’m not sure where I’ve been. In the past two weeks, there have been disappointing days, worried days, hectic days, a day when I impulsively dyed my hair, and eventually quiet days. I won’t play catch [...]

Morning at Smiley’s

We haven’t been in touch since Valentine’s Day, when I gave you a mix CD and then disappeared. Sorry to love you and leave you like that, but my family didn’t call me “The Kissing Bandit” in high school for nothing! A lot’s been going on since Sweetheart’s Day! We’ve had company, we’ve been working, [...]
