My Letter to Fear
Based on interviews with women, these essays about life (and all of its funny, sad and ridiculous aspects) were published in 2014.
Fun Facts
In the run up to our team building exercises next week, we’re supposed to come up with a “fun fact” that our co-workers might not know to help break the ice during our first set of meetings. I’m pretty sure this is after the office furniture tower and before the trust fall. I have no
Now That’s Team Building
This was simply too amusing not to share. From my friend D, we have a true representation of what next week will bring (only add snow and more bitterness):
A Picture a Day
I’m fascinated by this “picture a day” craze that seems to be sweeping my Facebook friends. It’s a really simple concept: you take a photo every day for a year. It can be representational of your mood, a desire, fabulously artistic, or an actual picture of what you are doing that day. I can’t imagine

When I was about 15 I started writing romantic fiction. It was somewhat unexpected since I don’t think I had really even kissed a boy at that point, but my heart was pure and my pen was willing. It started slowly enough with me writing using characters for my favorite television show at the time,
Trick or Treat
When I was a little kid, I didn’t know about the fight to stop child trafficking. I loved to read, so the idea that there were kids in my country who didn’t have access to books or education generally, didn’t occur to me as a possibility. When I was younger, I didn’t know that there
Age of Stupid
Normally, with a title like this, the blog would be some sort of semi-scathing yet ultimately eye-rolling account of my life. Today, it’s to let people know about a chance to win tickets to a screening of the film “Age of Stupid”. Now I know many of my friends roll their eyes at climate change
The Best Made Plans…
… on a full moon Friday are bound to be thwarted at every turn. This is a story of one such set of plans. Ever since a friend and I attended the BBC America party (and by attended, I mean crashed like the ninja you always suspected I was) and chatted with David Tennant (who
