a note from Mary: this story contains sensitive subject matter, please be aware. Like the author of the last fabulously-written anonymous story, I too reached out to Mary to be a guest writer on her blog.

At some point in February I started seeing someone, then in March when it became official, I had no problem telling pretty much everyone, including my blog. The internet, however, now has made that relationship … More Relationships and the Internet

Anyway in an effort to be positive I’m going to give part … More Alone on Valentines Day: Part Two

Everyone has an opinion. I understand that, it’s just that your … More Why it’s Good to Mind Your Business
IHOP is my obsession as you may know. I also happen to think that is the perfect place for a first date. Why? Because you can share a pot of coffee. Also you can tell a lot by a person by what they order at IHOP on a first date. For example, I would definitely … More IHOP: The Perfect First Date
I’ve shared my recent obsession with short films with you already and I watched this one today and I thought I would express my thoughts on the theme it brought up.
