As we near Christmas day (one week from tomorrow!), I think we sometimes forget how depressing of a season it can be for some people. For those who no longer have someone special to celebrate with them, for those who are fighting an illness, or for those who simply are negative people, it can be… Continue reading Holidays!?

Remembering
I recently read an article about a photographer who was documenting his father’s Alzheimers and the end of his life (see link below). It was touching for me as someone whose father died of dementia over 7 years ago. It is not easy to watch someone dying. To have him look at you and question… Continue reading Remembering

What constitutes being a nerd? Is it wearing glasses? Is it not being athletic and making good grades? Nerds have always been teased and made fun of whether in real life or on the big screen.

As stated in the ‘about me’ page, I want other women to know they aren’t alone in so many things. As women we… Continue reading Beginnings
