A while back I was researching places to promote my blog and/or partner with and I came across a site called blogher.com, a community for women who blog. I discovered many women there discussing important issues and sharing their voices. I have contributed to these conversations on several occasions and was looking through my posts [...]
Well, as if to smack me and remind me not to let my guard down, the universe threw me a doozy yesterday. In a way, I think it was a test. You see, I pass out. I pass out when I hurt myself. I pass out when other people hurt themselves. I pass out when [...]
