Friends

I am super shy, so it is not too easy for me to make friends. That being said, I have a small group (4 of us total) of friends that we try to go out once a month, celebrate b-days, Christmas, and once a year we get away for a weekend. But, my closest friends are my mom and sisters.

Letters - Vol. 1

 Dear Mr. Wuss in the Old Pickup, While I can understand your trepidation regarding travel, considering the huge load of snow that was dropped on us in the past few days, I am baffled by your decision to drive only 8 miles per hour. Taking into account the condition of your vehicle and the fact that you must be unable to afford a 99-cent ice scraper to remove even a 2-inch window for seeing the road, I felt pity for you.

I commend you for not wanting to end up facing the wrong way on a giant heap of brown, chunky salt-snow. I am also familiar with the concept of “safety in numbers,” so the fact that you and a bu...

A PSA from UNICEF – “Missing Mothers”

From UNICEF: This year alone, more than 500,000 women will die during pregnancy or childbirth. That’s one woman missing every minute of every day. We call these women “missing” because their deaths could have been avoided. In fact, 80 per cent of maternal deaths could be averted if women had access to essential maternal health services. We know where and how these women are dying, and we have the resources to prevent these deaths. Yet, maternal mortality is still one of the most neglected problems internationally.” Via UN Dispatch and Feministing.
