Not Even A Small One I cannot tell a lie. It’s not because I am a virtuous person like George Washington and the legend with the cherry tree. I have just recently come to the conclusion that I shouldn’t even bother trying to tell lies because the few times I have tried, there is something aboutContinue reading "I Cannot Tell a Lie"
Blogging Against Disablism Day 2013: Stop Doing More with Less
Last year on May 13, I graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree in communication with a journalism emphasis. Today, May 1, 2013, almost a year later, I still do not have a job. My parents constantly remind me this is nothing to be ashamed of. There is a good chance that I wouldn't haveContinue reading "Blogging Against Disablism Day 2013: Stop Doing More with Less"
Soul Searching
When I was in third grade, I had an inexplicable fascination with the Iditarod Dogsled race held every year in Alaska. The race retraces the journey from Anchorage to Nome, made by a brave dog named Balto to get medicine for children suffering from diphtheria in 1925. While most of the topics covered in thirdContinue reading "Soul Searching"
My First Gluten Free Birthday
Want to know how shallow I can be? Well, when I should have been excited/relieved to find out I had Celiac Disease, the answer to my fatigue and frequent migraines, I was instead heartbroken.

Taking a Leap of Faith
Well readers, at the end of my previous entry, I mentioned that there were other events that transpired in the absence of my braillenote but which needed a separate entry.

It was such a thrill to be able to send my first text messages and give Siri voice commands that I forgot all about blogging. ThenContinue reading "Back in the Game"
A Different Kind of Joy
It is no secret that I love Christmas. I think I have blogged about it before, but I have noticed that this year, what brings me this joy is different. I used to think this joy came from the magical poems and stories like The Polar Express and 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. ButContinue reading "A Different Kind of Joy"
‘Tis Better to Live an Uncensored Childhood
Well readers, last week I saw an article online about a small publisher which was editing the classic poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to "meet the needs of today's children." I guess some parents have been frantically tearing out pages of children's books because of the stanza about the pipe Santa held tight inContinue reading "‘Tis Better to Live an Uncensored Childhood"
I Witnessed History
Well readers, this past Saturday, I had the opportunity to fulfill a dream I have had since 2004, the first Presidential election that I paid attention to. I got to see a small piece of history through the experience of a campaign rally! We have all seen them on television, and if you are passionateContinue reading "I Witnessed History"
I’m Dreaming of a Good Pizza, Just Like the Ones I Used to Know
In the old days before Celiac, there was at least one night every week or two when it was a long day of school or work and we had no energy left to cook an involved dinner, a day when someone was feeling under the weather and needed quick easy comfort food, or nights whenContinue reading "I’m Dreaming of a Good Pizza, Just Like the Ones I Used to Know"
