The picture you see above is a picture of me at Barnes and Noble the other day. And on this particular day, I woke up feeling…Different. like I wanted to challenge myself to do something that I would not like doing, and that taking a picture of myself. I don’t like to, but I thought, with the new year, that I would change it up a bit! So, I went to a place where I felt comfortable. I’m sure the lady down the aisle wondered what I was doing, when she saw me setting up for this, haha. But, I snapped a few pictures, and pondered the one that was suited best. And, as you can see, this one won.

Another thing that made me step out of my comfort zone, is this. A manga called Cased Closed by Gosho Aoyama. I had no idea this existed until my dear friend and coworker, Katherine, recommended it to me. Kat, if you’re reading this, thank you!

I wouldn’t have picked it up, but since I’ve trying been widening my reading options, I thought I’d give it a go…And I don’t regret it one bit!

Don’t get me wrong, I still love my comfort zone like anyone would, and I go back it all the time. But sometimes, stepping out and trying something new isn’t a bad idea either. As long as the new something doesn’t get you into trouble 😜
