Love Never Fails
I’m gonna just come right out with it: it’s been a rough couple of days. So I apologize for my absence this past Thursday. What was I doing? I was breaking someone’s heart. Please don’t read that in a “My-Milkshake-Brings-All-the-Boys-to-the-Yard” kind of a way. But rather, in a “I-just-had-to-hurt-someone-that-I-care-about-deeply-and-am-feeling-tremendously-guilty-and-full-of-sorrow-because-of-it” kind of a way. As you know, this year, […]

Control
Control. In today’s culture, we’re all about it. We can control when we watch TV with DVR, we control how we come across on social media, we try to control our college or job trajectory by taking just the right classes or getting a particular degree. We try to control our diet and exercise — […]

WHEN WORDS WOUND
Kids are funny. Being the aunt of a beautiful 2 year old has been so much fun. Especially on vacation. We now do so many things that you just don’t do as an adult “kid”: we go sledding, play in the snow, have goofy dance parties, play pretend, and run around singing “Frozen” at the top of […]

A Reflection on 5000
There’s an elephant in the room… …and it’s YOU! All 5,000 of you! Yes, I recently hit 5,000 subscribers. And I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for taking time out of your day to come read my posts and check out my silly little quote art pictures. Thank you. […]

Walking in the Rain
Sometimes I forget about the life I once lived. The life I was trapped in eight years ago when I was in the depths of anorexia. But even though I write about my recovery and the freedom I’ve been given and found in my new life, I don’t really confront or think about that dark period of […]

Little Orphan Annie
As many of you know, I’m an actor. And one of my favorite roles I ever played was Annie. Yes, yes, your red-headed, optimistic orphan was portrayed by Yours Truly. A couple of times. But I mean, come on. You can’t not love that show. It’s like the original Hallmark movie: set in NYC during Christmas, cheesy dialogue (Leapin’ Lizards!), […]

Mercy
Mercy. And no I’m not goin all Uncle Jesse on you. 🙂 And I’m not referring to various hospitals around the country, either. I’m talking about the Year of Mercy. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, a “none,” or someone just searching for hope and goodness in the world…I think we can all […]
