My list of recent reads has had somewhat of a business and entrepreneurial theme which seems timely considering the recent transition of this site from Fireworks & Leftovers to Firework Philosophy, which was something I just felt led to do. I have all sorts of ideas for my little corner of the internet so I guess it makes sense that I've been gravitating towards books that are about brands, business and making things happen. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a ... View Post
French Onion Cheese Ball
One thing my Dad always requests around the holidays is a cheese ball. Super fancy and exciting, I know. But I understand where he's coming from. I'm not sure what it is about them because they're the simplest thing but they certainly jazz up a holiday or pot luck spread. Maybe it's the variety of flavor options. Maybe it's the fact that you can pair it with a variety of crackers and dippers. I know...maybe it's because it's a big ball of cheese supercharged with a ton of extra ... View Post
What Is Story Sharing?
It's been a little over a year since I've started this site. It originated as Fireworks & Leftovers - Vibrant Perspectives on Everyday Life & Leftovers.

Books Worth Reading ☆ November 2018
It seems like whenever I get a chance to read lately, I'm binge reading. Forget the dirty dishes piling up in the sink. Forget the laundry that needs to be put away. I've got books to read.

I'm sure I'm not alone with my binge reading habits. When you find a good book it's hard to put it down and that was ... View Post
How to Identify (And Overcome) Imposter Syndrome
I've always struggled with imposter syndrome, even before I knew it was actually a thing. Since learning it is indeed a thing - that many of us have internal beliefs of unworthiness, second guess ourselves and sometimes feel like a fraud - I've been able to overcome imposter syndrome by having a better understanding of my behaviors, mindsets and personality and discovering what works for me to pull myself up out of the syndrome's slump into a champion state. I'm sure we all experience imposter ... View Post
