What is good about having a pet? Contrary to popular opinion, I'm not a fan of pets. Oh, don't get me wrong, we've got two dogs and a cat. I bought all three. Baby animals are so cute and I'm a sucker for sob stories surrounding rescue pets. My empathetic and nurturing side make me …
I'm going to skip past today's daily prompt in lieu of a little story. Today's question was something along the lines of "what is the most expensive personal item you have ever bought for yourself".

I've perfected a Minestrone Soup recipe that was handed down. Everyone always seems to love my Chickpea Paprikash. I've nailed down my Vegan Cheese Sauce. Around the holidays, I …
What are you most proud of in your life? It's an easy prompt today, but not what I am proud of, but who. I am extremely proud of my children. I am honored to be in their lives. Each are perfect and special in their own way and are already making such an impact on …
What principles define how you live? This morning, I started a lengthy post on my personal journey and spiritual and religious metamorphosis. The thing is, when it comes to this topic and where I was then and where I am now, it takes time to fill in all the holes and connect the thoughts into …
