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,…

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…

Resolution RealTalk
It’s hard to believe, but the Christmas season is officially behind us. Come this time tomorrow, we will be ringing in 2016. 2016. I mean, jeezel petes. Where did time go? Whether we like it or not, the time is upon us to set new years resolutions. I think the number one resolution in America is to shed the holiday weight. Which,…

I appreciate each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. 🙂 Alright, onto tonight’s post. I’m writing this from my old bedroom in my childhood…

Here I Am
So I’ve been watching rewatching The OC recently. That’s right. No shame here. I love it. All of it. Even the fourth season that literally limped along for 16ish pathetic episodes until the writers, in essence, gave up on the show. (Hello, Ryan’s dad?? WTFuudge mate?) ANYWHO. I digress. The episode I watched last night was the one where…

Finally Home, At Home
It appears that time has escaped me, yet again. Between work and social engagements, I’m left with mere hours to plan, prepare, and purchase gifts for my family and friends. Nothing like a little holiday scramble to really get you in the Christmas spirit. That and an overpriced plane ticket. I just booked my flight home for…

Two Teens, Two Realities
Ahh, Facebook, you double-edged sword, you. When you’re in your twenties, there comes a time when you log onto “The Book” and it’s like, overnight, every single one of your friends has gotten engaged. Scroll through your newsfeed, and it’s engagement photo after engagement photo, or better yet….babies. Well, needless to say, it’s happening. And I’m over…
