Entrepreneurs
I’ve joined with hundreds of people selling things on Etsy today. I’ve been sewing and preparing things to put up for a while, and today I officially launched. I have three items up there right now, but I’ll be making more in the days and weeks to come. In the mean time, check out my…

unafraid
Often times I find myself feeling like a little kid overwhelmed in a great big world – I don’t think my height helps. I realized lately that more often than not I’ve been living in fear. It’s paralyzing, it’s cowardly, and it’s no fun to live in. I’ve had it with living in fear of…

Chill
I woke up this morning with plans to go to the bank and send out my cable bill…..and then I realized that it’s Columbus day. I don’t remember ever taking off Columbus day when I was in school, so it’s always come as a surprise – usually when we discovered there wasn’t any mail and…

It Happens To Everyone
So yesterday was another first. On Monday the battery light on the car went on, so we called to set up an appointment at the mechanic’s on Tuesday. The earliest we could schedule was today, Thursday – our mechanic is about an hour and a half north of us, in the town my in-laws live…
