About Me

Welcome to my corner of the internet! My name is Alicia, and I’m thrilled to have you here. At 32, I’ve spent much of my life doing what I was “supposed to do,” but now, I’m on a journey to focus on what truly brings me joy. This blog is a space where I can share my passions and, hopefully, inspire you to pursue what makes you happy as well. As Michael Scott once said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. – Wayne Gretzky” (Michael Scott).

I have a few passions that light up my world:

  • Gift Giving: There’s nothing quite like helping someone find the perfect gift. I love the process of selecting meaningful, personal presents for friends and family, ensuring each one brings a smile to their face.
  • Travel: Exploring a national park is my ideal vacation! If there happens to be a hike involved, even better. I am currently on a quest to visit all 63 National Parks!
  • Investing & Wealth Building: Learning about investing and building wealth fascinates me. I enjoy discovering new strategies and sharing insights to help others achieve financial freedom.
  • Sports: Volleyball is my favorite sport to play, but I have a love for all things sports. I’ll talk about anything having to do with sports with anyone!
  • Spreading Kindness: I’m deeply passionate about making the world a kinder, more loving place. One day, I hope to foster children, making them feel loved and safe every single day.
  • Harry Potter & The Office: My two greatest loves in the fictional world are Harry Potter and The Office. Have you ever noticed how people don’t ask “Have you seen The Office?”, they ask, “Do you watch The Office?”? As a true Office fan, the episodes continue to play on repeat and not a day goes by that reference is not made.

My goal with this blog is to build a community where everyone feels valued and heard. Here, we can learn from each other, share our passions, and support one another in our journeys. Whether you’re here for gift ideas, financial tips, sports discussions, kindness initiatives, travel inspiration, or just some good old Harry Potter and The Office references, welcome!

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s make the world a little kinder, a little wiser, and a lot more joyful—together.
