Life Update!

Hello everyone! Sorry I have been so inactive lately. If you didn’t know or don’t remember from a previous life update post, I joined AmeriCorps NCCC last November. With this program, we sign up for a year of service, and essentially, we are sent to anywhere in the US to do various community service projectsContinue reading “Life Update!”

100 Followers!

Hello, I just wanted to share this milestone with everyone, I have reached 100 followers! Whoop! While this blog is more of a hobby than anything and I have been working on it for awhile now (a little over 6 months) and I am still excited about hitting those triple digits! Thank you to allContinue reading “100 Followers!”

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I’m sure everyone’s Christmas is looking a little different this year with Covid-19 and trying to stay safe! My family is very conscious of everything and high risk so I drove from Colorado to California (17 hours) for the holidays so I wouldn’t be in contact with loads of people. Our plansContinue reading “Merry Christmas!”

Life Update: AmeriCorps NCCC

Hello, I just wanted to give you guys a little life update. My original plans for this year were to move to South America and teach English or History at an international school. Obviously with Covid-19, those plans were a no go. In April, I had a bit of a panic trying to figure outContinue reading “Life Update: AmeriCorps NCCC”

New Tattoo!

I am no stranger to tattoos. I literally got my first one the morning of my 18th birthday and have added a few more over the years. I am not one of those people who think all tattoo have to have a lot of meaning (though if they do for you, more power to you),Continue reading “New Tattoo!”

Books for a Cause!

Hello, I am on the emailing list for C.N. Crawford and Chandelle LaVaun. They both sent out emails that they are offering their books at a discounted rate and that the proceeds will go towards promoting voter rights in the US. As you know, I am a big activist for rights so I love thatContinue reading “Books for a Cause!”

Independence Day and Giving Back

Hello, Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope everyone is celebrating safely and staying cool in this crazy hot weather. With everything happening this year, I have become much more educated on our history and black America, especially Juneteenth, when blacks were declared free. While 1776 is when we, as a nation, declared independence fromContinue reading “Independence Day and Giving Back”

Blog Name Change! -Previously “ihaveliveda1000lives”

Hello everyone, just wanted to let you know I have changed my blog name from “ihaveliveda1000lives” to “thetravellingreader96.” Why? I think this theme fits a little better with my blog. I mentioned in my Backyard Bookcations post that I am an avid reader AND traveler. I hope that once we get Covid-19 under control, IContinue reading “Blog Name Change! -Previously “ihaveliveda1000lives””

Backyard Bookcations

What you may not know is I also love to travel. I have spent the past few years living, travelling, and working abroad inContinue reading “Backyard Bookcations”
