Soul Food 18 :: When the Inspiration Runs Dry

Ciaooo! Like always, I write about different phases/moments I’m going through in my life and lately I’ve found myself in a period of gathering tons of information to inspire and motivate myself both personally and professionally.  To clarify, I don’t mean “inspiration running dry” in the sense of losing motivation to blog or write.  I mean the bigger feeling when you are just kind of passing through your day to day not feeling particularly motivated to do new things, think…

How to Spend a Day in Bruges, Belgium

Ciao tutti! I’m recapping my recent vacation travels again in today’s post and this time we’re making our way back to Belgium into the quaint city of Bruges, or as the French say, Brugge!  A few days after traveling to Brussels, we hopped back over the border of France and Belgium into this beautiful city that simply oozes charm.  Honestly, I had never been too curious about Belgium but Bruges sold me.  If you remember from my travel post about…
