I woke up today, unzipped my tent, and walked over to my 12 year old little brother. He was sitting by the pile of old firewood that was still smoking from the night before. What are you doing? I ask...
Nothing compares to 5 week old puppy breath. That’s what I kept reminding myself as I sped through freeway traffic two Wednesdays ago to go pick up a litter of puppies that had been left in a box out...
It was just the right kind of chilly, and the heels of my feet hurt from walking in my mother’s hand-me-down boots all day. We held hands and walked through the park, on our way to somep...
What journey has led you here, to rest in peace in the shadow beneath my chair? How long did you live and how high did you soar? How many people did you leave mesmerized by your intricate patterns? Y...
Its officially official! I have a twitter and a facebook account! Woohoo I finally did it! It is… (drum roll please) @nikkireed_I_am
Once again it took ten hours and two flights to get to the south. Three of those hours were not spent flying, but rather sleeping on the airport floor in Charlotte waiting for a connecting flight. It...
I’ve never really experienced a natural disaster first hand. I was very young when the Northridge earthquake destroyed parts of Los Angeles, and I must have blocked most of it out of my mind. It̵...

The fact that I continued on after reading the sign made me feel accomplished. My first thought…Who hikes with food and water? I’m from Los Angeles, where designated hiking trails dictate the time yo...

I would call American Idol my guilty pleasure, but I don’t feel guilty for devoting two or three hours a week to such potent and persuasive talent. In any case, I watch the show religiously (or Tivo ...
A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah Just Kids by Patti Smith I am certainly not the first to embody such enthusiasm over these two very popular books, but nonetheless I thought ...
I spent 7 days packing in as much physical activity as humanly possible. It was just what the doctor ordered. Not luxurious, yet the most extensive vacation of my life, in a place that could take any...
So here’s the story. About five months ago I was surfing the internet, and somehow came across the music video for Hanson’s new song, “Thinking ‘Bout Somethin’”. (Side note: doesn’t it feel wrong to ...
As a general rule, I tend to steer clear of any topic that feels even remotely controversial. Why? Probably to avoid the seemingly inevitable surge of hate in the counter-attacks made on anyone with ...
My father started out as an architect, long before his career in set designing had a life. Like many boys, he followed in his father’s footsteps, which led him straight into the doors of architecture...
I made a friend today. It’s amazing what a person can gather from 20 minutes of conversation. Sometimes life offers these gifts, little pockets of pure connection between two people. I met him ...
There is a reason why I haven’t written any posts. I have been away, relaxing my mind, and trying to do nothing but absorb the beautiful scenery around me. Ironically I came across this article...

I parked out front under the old tree, which dropped heavy balls of sap onto any car daringly parked underneath. It was hot, and in an attempt to dress well I wore a sweater, so I didn’t want t...
I just wanted to let everyone know that the photos in my new banner were taken by my very talented brother, Nathan.
Most of the time when actresses/models do photo shoots, they show up, and get told what to do. It’s a relatively thoughtless process for me, and I’ve always felt like I wanted to contribute, in some ...
Yes I did it. The whole thing. The shrimp buster, gumbo, onion rings and a big cup of coca cola. I even bought two t-shirts. One was for me and the other I will give to my little brother, Joey. It h...
I love painting shoes…I especially love shoe-painting because they make great gifts for people! This was a gift I made for someone on valentines day, hence all of the hearts. I got the creative bug f...
