I paid little attention to what happened to Lauren Astley on July 3, 2011. Initially, I was shocked that a teen boy could murder his ex-girlfriend.
If you follow me on social media, you probably can’t stand me in the summer. I’m the grown-up who acts like a teenager. I post pictures…
Do I really have high expectations of my closest buddies? Shouldn’t we at least have some standards for our friends?
In-laws are the source of many jokes and can be the cause of great stress in a marriage. What if we thought about it differently and found reasons to love our parent-in-law as much as we love our own parents?
Why is it that some people live in fear of superstitious behavior while others just simply don’t care?
I don’t care what your grammar school teacher told you, if you have lived a life, you can write.
I have had to let go of my vision of what a family should look like and how parents should behave toward their children.
Many argue that we cannot plan for aging, that we don’t know what will happen tomorrow. But shouldn’t we start thinking about it?
Looking back, I wasn’t self-confident enough at 18 to let my hair go curly. I tried to fit in with everyone. I tried to be something I wasn’t. In the end, it backfired.
Life in the second act can be lonely – kids leave the nest; parents become older. Even with a best of spouses and a fantastic family, everyone needs good friends.
