I’m Not Strong “For A Girl”
“Sign here please,” said the man behind the counter. I took the pen he offered with a nod and scribbled my sorry excuse of a signature on the paper in front of me. Then, sticking my keys in my back pocket, I thanked him and reached for the package I came to pick up. “Here,… Continue reading

Size Strong: Size is a Number, Strength is a Feeling
When I was in high school I—like most teenagers—was extremely self-conscious about my body. I didn’t have the same stick thin build as my friends, and when I saw the way that type of frame was admired, I felt like my own body type was, for lack of a better term: wrong. So, I convinced… Continue reading

Dear Innovative Inventors (Idea 1: Red Light Brakes)
Today I’m starting a new series where I try and pitch some amazingly great, totally not crazy ideas, in the hopes that someone somewhere will *light bulb* them into the real thing.

How Lucky Are We to Hate That?
I wake up with a stretch and yawn, only to find that my alarm didn’t go off and I’m now late to work. I hate that. I get dressed to go out to dinner and I spill makeup on myself and have to change. I hate that. I’m sitting in traffic and a guy in… Continue reading

Good Day to be a Duck (How a Puddle Gave Me Perspective)
A few weeks ago I wore rain boots to work for the first time in my entire life. They were relatively new (in that I’d never worn them in the 2 years they’ve sat in my closet) so the fit was awkward and squeaky. When I opened the office door, I tried to tip toe—squeakless—towards… Continue reading

Don’t Mind the Gaps & Kick Some Ass
Last January I struggled through—however completed—my first ever 5k. It was a huge feat for me, as the only previous accomplishment I’d made in running was beating my dog in a sprint across the backyard. Then again I only won that because my dad got home right as I yelled “Start!” and my dog b-lined… Continue reading

An Award for “Buzz Tap”
At the beginning of last year I submitted a short story I wrote to the 84th Annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition, and while I didn’t expecting much, I took pride in my courage to submit anything and didn’t think of it again until 6 months later when I received an email with the subject line:… Continue reading
