Supporting Other Authors Makes Me Smile
Supporting other authors makes my day. I am proud to be a small dollar philanthropist. Lachrista Greco is an author and recent grad student in Chicago and is publishing an anthology of Italian American Women writers. I know how hard it is to self publish a book, so I donated $5 to her campaign. Please […]
What If It Costs The Same?
If you can’t convince people to eat healthy, make junk food expensive. That is the idea behind soda tax. Why not? If it is true as this article from Mother Jones states that 21% of medical expenses are from obesity than I say tax away the fat. Would you be more likely to buy a […]

Here are two photos and a cartoon that I found on the web today. Remember that as an empowered individual, it is up to you make your own choices and be personally responsible. So go forth and speak your mind on important matters that effect you, your community and the world. Create a positive difference […]

Book Review: Up; A Mother and Daughter’s Peakbagging Adventure
I could barely put down”Up; A Mother and Daughters Peakbagging Adventure” By Patricia Ellis Herr. Fresh mountain air filled my lungs, morning sun warmed my skin, leaves of trees brushed against my skin and gave me shade when it was hot. I could smell the flowers, dirt, sweat, and rain. Birds chirped and lizards scurried away as […]
Art Wednesday: It’s all about the hair
It’s all about the hair. What can I say, but when I was younger I always had to have some weird hair style or colors. Nothing quite as fun as these, so that is probably why I LOVE drawing crazy hair portraits.
