This one is for the girls. It’s not long and every single young woman needs to read this. Maybe even some not-so-young women need to read this. Much of our lives, our worth is directly tied to our looks. Our body image feeds our self esteem. Our sweet, sensitive hearts are...
The sad truth is that we are losing our kids, friends. Losing them. We will never, ever get them back. We must stop this now, today. We must start the conversation in our homes, our schools, our youth groups. We must look our kids in the eyes and see them...
For all the kiddos heading back to school, this post is for you. Feel those butterflies in your stomach? Use them. Those butterflies are energy just waiting to be applied. You can put them to good work today as you brave the ‘first day’ back to school. New teachers. New...

Seventeen things I wish I could tell Mason today… One. I wish you were here for your 17th birthday. I miss surprising you. Two. I took a road trip today to celebrate your birthday. I played the BPM station all the way up to Venice Beach. I danced and moved my arms...
