If You Were Wondering Why I Missed This Week…..
My friends came and surprised me. They drove 20 hours. 1,500 miles. To see ME. You can see how excited I was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trkQsTfwvxY Look for my blog about it next week!
Why I’m Getting Adopted and Why It Isn’t Weird
I'm 24. "Why do you need to be adopted?", people ask me. Well, think of all the reasons you don't need to be adopted and take them away. All the love and support you get from your family; the...
Who I Am: American Scar Stories and How I’m Learning My Worth
It is less-than-common knowledge that I spent most of my life striving to accomplish a very singular goal: To be a performer. I didn't want to be a writer until GOD asked me to. I've always had a lean towards the verbal and I'm sure it is not disappointing to any of...
I Am Sam

My Dog is a Better Person Than I Am.
I learn a lot from my dog. He has a very short list of priorities and needs. Right now, he's taking a nap for probably the 12th time today. Shy is a retired race dog. He is a 75 pound greyhound who loves food, sleep, walks, and anything that squeaks. He loves meeting...
Because GOD Said So
Things fall apart more than they ever seem to fall together. I'm learning that the way I respond to things falling apart says much more about me than the way I respond to things falling together. Our bookstore just opened April 9th. It's very exciting. We are in our...
