YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

This is a love letter written by my best friend to all the people who make connections via “selfies”.  By loving others you learn to love yourself. Lizzi has seen so many sides of me and me of her because “selfies” aren’t simply just images; they connect our distant worlds. She gets a picture of each new…

MORE THAN AN IMAGE

Today my guest blogger is one of my “IRL” friends, May Vann. Compassion happens when you get past the stereotyping and the judgments and take the next step in caring about someone. I hope this idea comes across in this post today! When I first met May we were shaking our butts next to each other…

THE NIGHTMARISH GORGEOUS TWITS

I am not a girl anymore.  I know I am long past that part of my life.  It is good though, to go back and visit her.  My best friend helps me to stay in contact with her.  I think part of why I enjoy his company is his youth…I lost mine…so I borrow his. …
