Well readers, I have been doing some writing for a Spiritual Writing class I just finished with the Creative Nonfiction Foundation, the same organization from which I took the memoir writing class I wrote about back in January. I have known for awhile that I wanted a future career that involved writing from the ChristianContinue reading “Parallels Between Racism and Ableism”

I am the Scrooge of Sports
Hello readers. In light of the Superbowl last Sunday, I thought it would be fun to write a post that has been stewing in my mind for years, a post about how much I despise our culture’s obsession with sports, especially football. I really wanted to publish this on Superbowl Sunday, as a symbolic, light-heartedlyContinue reading “I am the Scrooge of Sports”
It’s a Pumpkin!
When I was in first grade, the regular classroom teacher introduced the class to the concepts of photosynthesis and how plants grow with a fun little song about a pumpkin. “It starts out as a seed, and grows into a sprout. Then it becomes a plant, and grows into a flower. From the flower (clapContinue reading “It’s a Pumpkin!”
High School Singing
In middle school, I wasn’t thrilled at the prospect of college. I wasn’t wild about school, and wasn’t looking forward to another four years of school after high school, especially if I had to take math. But I was beginning to think that if my parents and teachers insisted I go to college, I wouldContinue reading “High School Singing”
Taking My Passion to the Next Level
Fifth grade was a tough year academically for me, but when it came to my chorus experience, I would have loved to stay in fifth grade forever.

Convicted: The Mother’s Day I Threw the Book At Mom

I heard about this site from a Facebook friend and then shortlyContinue reading “Convicted: The Mother’s Day I Threw the Book At Mom”
The Beginning of My Passion for Singing
This past Saturday, I sang in my final choir concert of the season. It was a wonderful concert with a diverse set of music that included a couple songs in latin, German and French, but the theme of the concert was Girls Night Out because all of the songs were written by female composers. AfterContinue reading “The Beginning of My Passion for Singing”
Some Thoughts as I Return To School
Hello readers. I hope you all enjoyed the address from Snickers, the queen. She is right that I absolutely love and adore her, but I should point out that while Snickers says I favor Gilbert, Gilbert is jealous because I give too much love and attention to Snickers! I just cannot win, I tell you!Continue reading “Some Thoughts as I Return To School”
A Wise College Decision
Last Saturday at my college, there was a preview day for incoming freshmen to register for their classes if they hadn’t already, tour the campus and seek advice for how to be successful in college from older students. My work at the switchboard where I have fielded a lot of calls with questions from incomingContinue reading “A Wise College Decision”
