Last week I was reading the news on my way to work, and there was this piece that stood out to me.

If it's one thing that will never cease to amaze me, it's how much hurt people can experience and still be able to dare to love afterward. We all go through so much with our hearts in our hands, outstretched and vulnerable. Sometimes we experience that heart to meet another one, and they wrap themselves... Continue Reading →
So I went to London, I ate plenty of good food, drank the whisky and met some wonderful people too. But Christina, you went to London to write!

Christmas is the most magical time of the year, or so I used to think. For as long as I can remember, I've had a crazy amount of Christmas spirit.
