Last month an 8th grade boy committed suicide in our schools. A few years ago, a college teen girl hanged herself in my neighborhood. We all asked the same question, why? Why did they take their own lives? Simple, they were bullying victims. One was threatened and harassed online by insecure girls, and the other was belittled and beat up for being quirky and quiet. No one did anything to stop it. Even the school knew his torture and plans to commit suicide and didn't intervene. I …

Stop Telling Women We’re Not Equal
First of all, I want to say every topic I discuss comes from God. He inspires me. I don't know if it's for me or for someone else but when I feel the stir I know it's time. So needless to say I've been thinking about this topic, passionately swirling around. I recently read an article on the Odyssey on the Christian rejection of feminism and why women aren't equal to men (check it out here).

My Advice to Younger Folks

Gosh, I didn't realize the mental exhaustion I'd experience. Don't get me wrong, I love it! I love to travel, …
Life Update
Hey stranger! Long time no talk. I've been quiet on here for a little while. Much has changed and I can't wait to update you all. First, how was your Holiday? Did you relax among friends and families, go to lots of parties? I for one had a relaxing yet sick break. Still am, ugh. If anyone knows how to banish sinus issues tell me. So first, I quit my job. After two years at the boutique I finally said goodbye. I left on good terms and very sudden. After being at Palfish and seeing the success, …
