We need to be brave and have conversations that matter. We need engaging, respectful, intimate conversations; ones that aren’t filled with bullying, hate, and lies. Our Current […]
Feeling guilty? Honestly, only for about 3 minutes! Most household chores completed, business tasks on point, and appointments set. When I knew school would be cancelled today, I worked to get many tasks out-of-the-way yesterday. This morning, I did manage to make coffee and oatmeal, listen to a podcast and obviously, I’m writing now. So there […]

On the other hand, there are equally good motivational and inspiring quotes that aim to support us as we dive in and tackle the Monday Blues! This morning, […]
I Love You! 17 Day Challenge! Saturday, October 28, 2018 my city of Pittsburgh was rocked by a crime of pure hate and evil. The quiet, welcoming neighborhood of Squirrel Hill experienced a day that no town should ever have to go through. Each one of these incidents is heartbreaking, but when it happens in […]
I’m not certain if we realize just how much photography impacts our world. It provides glimpses into corners of the world we may never see, it helps to preserve our memories, it shows us both the joys and atrocities all around us. Sometimes though, they represent a distorted view. The use of filters and apps, […]
