• It’s You, Not Them: My ever-distracting thoughts about the single life in a world full of real problems

  

  *sigh* If you’re reading this blog, thank you.  I am sitting here writing this piece because I had to face the truth about my writing. I am not sharing my most vulnerable parts of myself, and my subconscious could no longer take it.  Refusing to write about the thoughts and topics that consume my life…

• America… Voting Isn’t Enough

  “There is a lot of mediocrity being celebrated, and a lot of wonderful stuff being ignored or discouraged.” – Sean Penn Yep, I said it.

• This is America

  Every time I fly out of Austin, I park my car in the extended lot, it’s not too expensive (yet). Parking at this spot requires me to ride on a shuttle to and from the airport. Now, I travel enough to notice, that unless I sit next to someone or a person of color sits…

• Being a Woman in a Man’s World: My Thoughts on Hillary with a Pinch of Pat Summitt

  I must say this article is really less about Hillary, but about my views about how women should go about supporting each other. Let’s try to hold each other to the right standard and support them in the same way we support men. Let’s stop holding ourselves to a higher and more unrealistic standard, and…
