Traditionally, Fat Tuesday is a Catholic’s last hurrah, but even before that modernization, it was a celebration of the coming of Spring. I’m not Catholic, and Lent always starts to annoy me around noon on Ash Wednesday when everyone is giving up their chocolate and cigarettes for Jesus. Growing up in a Protestant church, we…

Last year I wrote this about why I love Valentine’s Day, and I think, when you’re going through heart break on this holiday everyone sort of expects you to be cynical and down trodden. I think, that’s sad. Why would we wish for someone to feel bitter? Why wouldn’t we instead hope that they could…

Link up with the fabulous Vicki from My Vickilicious Life, and Amy from At The Pink of Perfection. I’m just looking for something normal to do today. Something that is unrelated to the recent events.

I’m living in a kaleidoscope. The world is spinning around and around, all of the facts and fictions are dancing together.
