    Dublin Street Art is Larger Than Life

    March 6, 2018 - By 

    Dublin street art is magnetic and larger than life. Part of the charm of travel for me is seeing the many ways cities use street art and public art to make their city unique. Before I took my trip to Dublin, I associated the city with pubs, literature and castles. But it’s so much more. In fact, Dublin is a dramatic contrast of youthful energy and creativity, surrounded by tradition and history. Of course the traditional architecture, history and literature are what we know the Irish city for. But Dublin also has a flirty, creative, youthful spirit on display in…

    Teach Your Child How to Be a Friend

    March 2, 2018 - By 

    This morning I have already connected with 3 of the parents I know who have kids with special needs. I am beyond grateful for their support. My kids are both having a rough week. Some part of that is life as a teenage girl. Another part of that is special needs. And yet a final piece of that is other people’s kids. Can’t control how other people parent, even though I wish I could. But I can reach out to my support network. And I can write. Sometimes that’s my therapy. Girl friendships are hard. I get it.

    February 28, 2018 - By 

    Health benefits of vitamin C extend beyond keeping colds at bay, although this powerhouse vitamin does that too. When cold and flu season rolls around, most of us boost our vitamin C intake.

    American Heart Month – Give a Piece of Your Heart

    February 22, 2018 - By 

    This post was written by me through an activation with HireInfluence on behalf of BIOLIFE4D. Although I received compensation for participating in the campaign, all thoughts and opinions are my own. The human heart is a miraculous and precious thing.
