People say: “Change makes the world go round”. Actually, gravity does. People say: “Change you can believe in”. Well, I believe it happens. People ask: “Do you have any spare change?” If I do, I give it to them, assuming they mean coins. Because “change” doesn’t just lie around, it changes things. Duh. People say: [...]

No, I’m not about to link an Epicurious Shepard’s pie, or chicken noodle soup recipe. I’m sorely tempted though. Because I think this will count as over-sharing, at least emotion wise. Ms. M, my P.E. teacher says “Never say ‘can’t’”. I always reply: “Never say ‘never’”. Because there’s always something you can’t do. It’s only [...]

Every year I write a note to Santa. This year, I posted it on my Kaboodle list. I transcribed it here. (Beware, ridiculously sappy) Dear Santa, This year has been incredibly exciting. All this year I have been reminded of all the people around me who love me and all of the things that I [...]

Last week, my language arts teacher wrote the word “Segregation” on the board and told us to write for ten minutes what the word makes us think. What it makes us feel. Our reactions. In a little while, I’ll post what I wrote, but for now, here’s what occurred afterward: Our language arts teacher discussed our [...]

Alinea was, quite simply, indescribable. I’m not even going to try to describe each course, you all will simply have to go there yourself. The amazement factors in when you think, not only of the food, but the care put into every aspect of your experience. The taste was unbelievable, of course, but there’s so [...]

It always occurs to me whenever someone dies in a book that maybe they didn’t do everything they would have liked. Or, when a person is a ghost, and they talk about all the things they wish had happened in their human life. Or when a person is about to die and they suddenly realize [...]

I try to reply to everybodies comment with a personalized response, but the undertone to all the replies that I’ve given to the comments that have stopped my heart with their kindness, staggered me with their beauty, touched me with how heartfelt they were, was this: Thank you. Thank you all so much for your [...]

I just met a ton of bloggers, all of whom were inspiring, interesting, funny, amazing in some way. I have collected enough free stuff that I probably could hand out an item to every American citizen and still have some left over. I have probably eaten twice my weight in those delicious chocolate covered strawberries. I have [...]
