Wishes for a New Year

Hey Steph, Thank for reminding me that life isn’t just about a 9-6 job, bank balance and all the things in this category. There’s so much more to it. It makes me realize, you can conquer life .. It is not the other way around. Every time you update your facebook photo album doing a [...]

High Infatuation

High Infatuation

I first saw “High Infatuation” in a used book store, while looking for a Costa Rica travel book. I honestly thought it was going to be about doing drugs from the title. I might have even laughed a little about the idea of a book about doing drugs. Nonetheless, I picked it up and I’m [...]

Hey Steph, I just finished reading your book and was blown away. After reading it, I felt like I knew you, or at least somewhat about how you viewed the world, and I really felt compelled to ask you for some advice with my own life and some things I’ve been struggling with. I am [...]
