Business. I’m beyond ecstatic. Yesterday he brought up something about it, and we chatted. I won’t go into a lot of detail, but the topic was only tangentially related. He had a lot of risk-aver...

what to say to oblivious people. I was in my yard yesterday feeding rabbits, watching my son and wearing my daughter when I noticed one of those little rat dogs come into my yard. My dog ran ove...

It’s a little funny that I recently have this appreciation, because for all my life I hated it. I should say, my parents and the authorities in my life hated it. They hated me. But, as an interna...

I can’t remember the last time I felt it this strongly. I finally met an older woman yesterday after months of email and then mail correspondence. I had hoped to find a friend, homeschool co-op ...
