Ok, Francesca. This is your time to shine. I am the Blog Post DJ. My tablet is my turntable, I scratch tunes with my keyboard, and I am taking requests. What do you want to read about? What do you want more of? Is there anything you’ve ever pondered about society, the universe, or Old…

Ben Carson: Angela on Politics
I am not political. I think there are crap Republican candidates and crap Democratic candidates. The speeches are boring, confusing, and the promises never seem to make it past one house or another (?). I hate pantsuits. It’s hard to say that one party aligns more with my personal beliefs than another. So, it’s rare…
What about your friends?
“You should just sleep with him, then.” This is a direct quote from one of my well-meaning friends. I was explaining my struggle of still being attracted to my ex but knowing that he wasn’t right for me. Um…no. Having a no- strings-attached physical relationship buddy (haha) might sound reasonable to a lot of people,…
Tempted in Toronto
Bad Decisions. This could have been the name of the Lifetime Movie about my teens and early twenties. I was not a wise girl. Ten years later, the bad choices are fewer and farther between and I am grateful. However, they still happen, and now that I have wisdom, experience, and Jesus, they feel a…
A New Chapter
I paced back and forth on my parents’ porch yesterday while they were at church. I could have gone with them, but I’m not a Methodist and their pastor has a slight speech impediment so all I can think while I’m there is “Shufferin Shuccotash”. I’m easily distracted. I wasn’t just pacing. I was praying….

6 Things that Drive Me Absolutely Nuts
Warning : You may think less of me after reading this. Still, this is who I am. It has to be said. I accept the consequences. I regard myself as a pretty laid-back girl. Yes, girl. I’m only 29. However, I guess everyone has certain things that push their buttons. Because you asked, here are…
On Travel
This girl loves road trips. Near, far, wherever you are..not now, Celine. There is something life-giving about hitting the open road and extracting myself from normal routine. It is liberating. Far away from dirty dishes, laundry, to-do-lists, and basic cable, I am free. Free to take in new sights, explore uncharted territory, and to be…
Why I Write Words
Each morning as I sit down to write, one thought circles around in my head. What do I have to offer? Obviously, as a seasoned waitress, I could show you how to balance three huge plates on your arm and teach you the difference between Chicken Costoletta ( 3 pieces, asparagus) and Chicken Di Pana…
Own Your Future
In my dream life I am in shape, successful, financially stable, and living in a beachfront bungalow in Nicaragua with man that drives me crazy (in the good way). My actual life is the fourth grade Opposite Day of my dream life. This is because knowing what you should do isn’t the same as doing…
