The Page Flippers

     Hey everyone, it's Kit! I am so sorry Vicky and I have been so inconsistent in our postings lately, but thanks to those of you who read the blog! Your support means everything, and like the title says, is one of the things we are prone to taking for granted so-shout out- thank you!😉       Anyway, I'm here to share a couple of points on the idea that we humans tend to be a little blind to the small things that keep our world spinning. But first, the backstory to this whole shindig. As I already shared, my family and I were in the path of Hurricane Irma. In the midst, we happened to lose power. It was tragic. Phones were dead, AC was gone, the whole package deal. Anyone who lives in a hot climate can relate. Those of you who don't.....just imagine your heater went out. But the opposite. Anyway, I was a complete grump. A brat. I was sticky, tired, and worst of all-BORED. Boredom. It's an epidemic that has permeated every teenager in our world. W...

Andrew. Katrina. Wilma. All names of hurricanes that have torn through our world, destroying cities and homes. Harvey and Irma are soon to be added to this list. I personally, live in the path of Irma, and it's the scariest thing to even think about the damage that they're doing. Preparations, prayers, panic. All three are things that have been swirling through the minds of Floridians, and those in Georgia and South Carolina. Normally, I would be a nervous wreck. But strangely enough, I'm cool as a cucumber.         Some people would accredit this to the fact that I've encountered storms of the like before. Others might say it's part of my personality, or pure ignorance. But it isn't any of those things. How can I say this? Well, for starters, the last storm I truly went through was 12 years ago. And I have very vague memory of it. Personality wise, I'm prone to howling and wailing and falling apart at the nearest sign of trouble. It's unlike me to co...

       Good day, friends! Kit Heart here with a new review! I'll be talking about The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen. This book came into my possession by way of my cousin, and I'm not quite sure whether to thank her, or find a way to poison her food. The book was hard-hitting and beautifully written which is why-                                                   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐        Five stars! I absolutely adored it, and wasn't quite sure what to do with myself when I finished it. Ok. So, a quick summary before I launch into my pros and cons list. The book is about Jessica, a junior in high school with a promising track career ahead. When a tragic accident causes her to lose her leg, she's completely lost. In the story, she struggles to get back on her feet (oh, I'm so sorry about that pun) and find her n...
