Hello!

Hello everyone,

This is the first time I am creating a blog, and I am actually creating on for a class that I am taking in my senior year of college.

My name is Ashley, I choose "ash tree" as part of my web address because that is the meaning of my name. Richlin is a combination of my parents. I made up the name so I wouldn't give away my full name!

Some of my favorite authors consist of J.K. Rowling, Sarah Dessen, Charles Dickens, Jodi Picoult, and Mary Higgins Clark. I do enjoy many of the classics; however, I am going to share sites that involve the authors above.

"Life can be long or short, it all depends on how you choose to live it. it's like forever, always changing. for any of us our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. you can never know for sure, so you'd better make every second count. what you have to decide is how you want your life to be. if your forever was ending tomorrow, is this how you'd want to have spent it?"
-Sarah Dessen, "The Truth About Forever".
