I have been doing a lot of thinking about the creative process lately, and how we come to take these millions of random and strange ideas bobbing around in the oceans of our head and make them into something. Sometimes … Continue reading The Creative Process
Reflection: Summer goes fast every year, and I don’t know if this brings consolation or makes me feel old. I also find myself wishing for a deeper connection to my surroundings in this time of my life, a spiritual awakening, a reading of the future, a raising of energy. A discovery of a ghost living in the wires of my house. Reading this makes me want to believe. I’ll keep searching. Best Summary Quote: “Call it a sign, call it a spirit, or call it a mechanical error, but I believe that someone or something was trying to communicate with … Continue reading R&F: The Poltergist
“I am lost at the moment. My colors have blended together, and I am at war with myself.” Continue reading R&F: July 25th
Everything around me is bright green, a healthy green. It may be due to the past 3+ days of rain and gray clouds hiding the sun, (which promises to come back eventually with each passing summer day). That’s something that … Continue reading Reflect and Flourish: A Series
I know, I know, I just got done talking about how much I love aimlessly wandering through libraries and accidentally knocking over books, but I can’t stop thinking about them.

If you are a fellow reader, you can follow me … Continue reading My Ultimate Bookshelf
I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to spend my Saturday in the library, so I thought I’d make a video to represent my blog from last week, “Library Love”. Be sure to follow this blog on YouTube for video updates (and outtakes) to brighten your day. Always, Madeleine Rheinheimer Continue reading Library Love // YouTube
I’m pretty positive at this point that I was born to be a writer. Looking back at my early years, there are just too many coincidences for it to be anything less. I went through many packs of crayons (I had a tendency for intensity and crayons are fragile) illustrating my stories of mermaids and princesses. I flipped through books, memorizing the pictures so my mom thought I could read. And most important of all, even as a child, I had my own library. I was raised around books. My mother read to me every night before bed, as if … Continue reading Library Love
Last night at my college, Dr. Eve L. Ewing held a performance and Q&A session. If you’re unfamiliar, you need to educate yourself, because she is an inspiration, super funny and relatable, brilliant and most of all, a complete and … Continue reading Poetry Culture
