To Lose a Parent
To lose a parent, at any age, is no easy thing. There is no good time to lose someone you love, someone who raised you, cared for you, and gave you life. But we have no control over these things and, unfortunately, for many people losing a parent while they are still in their formative years is a reality.

A Pet Owner's Journey (Pt. 3)
A lot of people don't believe it when others say that getting a pet changes your life completely. I won't make the claim that it is as life-altering as having a child, but pets have a way of stealing a great deal of your time and your love. When I got Roxy, my schedule changed greatly. And I have to say it was a life improvement.

Step-Mothers: They Aren't All Bad
Step-mothers have been made out to be villains throughout fiction. They are the people that we love to hate in every Disney movie that we watched growing up. Snow White and Cinderella are the most notable of these films with the Evil Queen in Snow White and the Lady Tremaine (wicked step-mother) in Cinderella.

A Pet Owner's Journey (Pt. 2)
As a pet owner there are certain things that just get stuck in my craw, so to speak. There are certain pet peeves that stay with me no matter how much you try to take deep breaths and look the other way. One of these issues that has been pervasive since I became a pet owner has been people’s inconsistency with leashes.

A Pet Owner's Journey (Pt. 1)
I have always been one of those people who has a soft spot for pets. Dogs, cats, birds, horses, lizards—it really doesn't matter what you own. Pets will always have a special place in my heart because they fill a bit of a void for all of us. Life is not complete without a pet, at least I've always believed so.
