When finding something that we thoroughly enjoy, it can sometimes be difficult to take a break from it, because why would we want to stop doing something that is really fun in our eyes?  I find that I always forget to take breaks from my writing. I go from writing for work, to writing my novels, to writing my blogs. Although they are all different types of writing, I am still using my creative side that can eventually force me into having a burnout.  Burnouts aren’t good as they can affect all different areas of your life in a negativing way, for example, your home life, work-life and social life.

Before the pandemic hit, this place was bursting with the storytelling music that is extremely common when it comes to the country genre. Every word has a meaning and each melody brings out a new memory that buries deep in your heart. This home to many country singers was first opened on March 16th 1974, and fans from far and near (a cliche, I know) come to listen to this western sound whenever they have the chance.  Here are ten fascinating facts about the Grand Ole Opry: In the 1920s, the Grand Ole Opry wasn’t a place nor was it called what it is now. In fact, it was a live music show on a radio station called WSM in Nashville, George D. Hay was the radio announcer on this show called The WSM Barn Dance . It featured live
