Beautiful Soul

Beautiful Soul

  This post from, Humans of New York, hit home with me today. Over the past 2 months I have seen the same woman on the corner right by my house asking for “anything.” She was burned by the Arizona sun, beaten down by whatever difficulties life had presented, but yet so sweet and thankful the few times I spoke with her. I rarely hand the homeless money, however I occasionally do, o... Read More »

Dear US Airways

Dear US Airways

  Dear US Airways, Your customer service stinks, bad. You definitely need to work on your automated man who answers the phone when you call your 1-800 number because he stinks too. I called to book my flight using a reward travel certificate (that you can only use by booking over the phone – which is ridiculous) and was asked to “call back” at least 20 times, due to bad weat...

We eat dinner, hang out, play with to... Read More »

Unexpected Motherhood | WIRL Project

My Most UNEXPECTED Reaction to Becoming a Mother

This is just a little story about me, it’s kind of personal and very honest. I hope that, maybe someone who is, or has felt the same is given some piece of mind knowing that there is someone else out there like them! So I’ll start off by saying something you probably aren’t used to hearing from a woman…I never dreamed of having children or being a wife. Shocking, right?!? M... Read More »

Cats: What They’re Really Thinking

Cats: What They’re Really Thinking

Sometimes do you look at you pet and wonder what they’re thinking? If you have a cat, you may be intrigued to learn what’s going on in their head. Apparently cats don’t “get” humans in the same way that dogs do, in that, dogs categorize humans as something different than themselves, and cat’s kind of consider humans as a bigger version of one of their own.
