When i was younger, I hated looking back. When I was younger, I was always looking ahead. I couldn’t wait to grow up. I counted down the days until birthdays, summer vacation, graduation, getting a job, and all the milestones I thought would finally make me feel like I had arrived somewhere. Looking back never…

Chasing the End of the Rainbow
When I was a kid, I truly believed there was a pot of gold waiting at the end of every rainbow. Whenever one appeared after the rain, I’d get so excited. I’d point at it and ask my dad to drive toward it because I was absolutely convinced we were about to become rich. If…
The Story That Changed How I See the World
Apparently I’m not quite finished talking about Little Women. Yesterday, I wrote about the ending I’d change. Today, I’m realizing the book changed me in ways that have nothing to do with who Jo ended up with. When I first read Little Women, I expected a story about four sisters growing up. What I didn’t…
If I could change the ending of any book…
If I could change the ending of any book, it would definitely be Little Women. I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I never liked how Laurie ended up marrying Amy. From the very beginning, I loved the chemistry between Laurie and Jo. Even though Jo kept insisting she only saw him as…
Success Is Not Giving Up
Life will not always be easy. There will be setbacks, disappointments, heartbreaks, and days when you feel like giving up.

Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables introduced readers to Anne Shirley, a spirited orphan with a vivid imagination, a kind heart, and a knack for finding…
Happiness Isn’t What Most People Think It Is
One of the biggest misconceptions people have about happiness is that it means having a perfect life. Many people believe that happiness comes after reaching a certain goal. Maybe it’s finding the perfect job, making more money, buying a house, getting married, losing weight, or finally solving all of life’s problems. We tell ourselves that…
If I could talk to animals, life would be even more magical.
If I could instantly master any skill, I would want the ability to talk to animals and with any and every creature on earth. Not only would I love to understand what they are thinking, but I would also love for animals to trust me the way they trusted Snow White. Imagine walking through a…
Stronger than I Thought I was
One way I have grown this year is learning how to keep moving forward even when life feels incredibly difficult. Losing my dad in March this year changed my life in ways I never expected. Some days I still find myself wanting to pick up the phone and try calling him. Other days I feel…
Winter
What is your favorite type of weather? Winter is my favorite time of the whole year. I love cold weather and I especially love days when it rains. The air generally feels fresh and there aren’t many people outside. Every morning, I am happy to see thick clouds covering the skies like a cozy blanket…
