I recently read Nobody by Susan Warner. While it is technically in the romance genre, I really enjoyed it because there was a deeper question and theme that wound itself through the whole book – is it possible to buy happiness? Does happiness come from having money, possessions and a social status? I’ve thought about … Continue reading The Secret of Happiness
An Unexpected Blessing (and lots of adorable baby pictures)

I sit down at my computer to write a post on something that I didn’t think I’d get another chance to write on.
Dreamer has joeys!
I got Inky neutered in May. I made the hard decision that having joeys was putting a strain on Dreamer’s health and that I had to stop. It was a tough decision because I absolutely loved raising joeys and watching the miracle of life unfold right before my eyes.

To the misfits, the outcasts, the broken and the scarred
You’re lonely in a room full of people. You watch companionship from a distance and feel empty arms embrace you. Sometimes a single tear, sometimes a torrent, rushes down your hallow cheeks and stings your bruised lips. As you walk by rows of perfect people, you hang your head but still feel their stinging eyes … Continue reading To the misfits, the outcasts, the broken and the scarred
Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar (+ a recipe)

The Pained
Once upon a time, I took a walk. I was restless and searching for something – I didn’t know what. A few minutes from my house, I passed an old man. His right hand trembled.
