Where are you from? Where is home? For some fortunate people this is easy to answer, however for many of us it is much more complicated. Our society has shifted over the last couple of decades so that it is no longer the norm for someone to spend their entire life in one place. Lifestyles …
I am going to keep this short. Unless you have ACTUALLY been sexually assaulted (like, you know, raped, molested), get your little “me too” off of your Facebook profile. Being cat-called by a construction worker is not the same as being sexually assaulted. A guy crowding your space at a party is not the same …
It’s been a while since I have written anything, mainly because I have been reading everything. In just two months I have read almost 20 books, and I don’t feel the need to slow down. This probably isn’t a topic worth writing about, but hey. I’m going to write about it anyway. Growing up I …
I have found that comparison truly is the thief of joy. It is so tempting to compare myself to other people, and I usually walk away feeling inferior.

I am just going to share a really quick rant about something very dear to my heart: animal adoption. There are about 70 million stray animals living in the U.S. Of this 70 million, only about six to eight million cats and dogs enter the nation's shelters every year, according to the Humane Society of …
Confession time: I am a wedding registry snob, and I judge people based on the items they have registered for. If a couple registers for mostly/only the most expensive items, my impression is that they are greedy. People who mostly/only register for non-essential items strike me as very inconsiderate. When they register for mostly/only the …
Being a Disney fanatic and HGTV junkie, my goal has been to apply a tasteful Disney theme to each room in my house. My living room has a very subtle Under the Sea theme, and my kitchen has a lot of bright, tropical Disney Cruise elements. The master bedroom is loosely modelled after a Disney …
