If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Whose story are you living? It’s easy to say, “It’s mine,” but is it really? Living authentically is a journey, not a destination, and I had to walk this journey quite a while ago, but my story runs in the…
If you enjoyed my earlier post on Unexpected Origins of Everyday Items, I’ve got three more! I love reading stories about people who had an idea and worked hard to bring it to fruition, but sometimes, things don’t work out the way we expect them to. As fascinated as I am by stories of successful…

Coming in December (because I’ve already gotten started on all my November content), I’m adding a new category of content. Radicals, Renegades, and Rebels is a topic that has captivated me for a long time.

Have you ever looked at a picture and it looks like you’re zooming into the scene? That’s a “Zoom Burst”. In the photography community, we find divided opinions on it, some hate it, some love it, and some don’t care. I learned how to do it when I was doing a weekly photography challenge. Zoom…
If you have a fabulous Internet plan, count yourself lucky. In parts of our country, it’s not possible to work from home, watch a movie, or play a game that requires Internet connectivity. But what happens if you have a great Internet plan but you still can’t seem to watch a movie without it stuttering…
Controversy isn’t new to social media. I think I joined Facebook in 2006, but people were arguing politics and religion online long before then. There’s something about the tubes and wires of the World Wide Web that emboldens people to make bold, controversial statements, even when they know that people they see often will see…
