It has officially been one year since I graduated from high school. I remember that day so vividly. Expectancy, hope, and uncertainties rushed all around me. I was giddy.

I recently came inside from reading through a magazine issue on my family’s front porch. As a high school girl who followed the blog of Mary Kate Robertson, I desired to get Issue 11 of Deeply Rooted. Mary Kate was interviewed in this issue.

Without bees, flowers and many plants would lack growth. Bees are devoted to the ruler of their hives, live in community with [...]

Hello, friend! I am currently sitting at a desk directly across from opening doors inside of my college building. People keep passing by and my curious self wants to keep looking up. It is sometimes hard for me to focus on the task right in front of me as I want to engage with all [...]
