The Aftermath
—
by
Pneumonia, Influenza A, and a double ear infection have left me raw. Illness has a way of stripping you down – one moment I’m sentimental, soft, almost nostalgic… and the next I’m thinking, “This person is unbearable.” It’s not who I am; it’s what being worn down does to me. I hope this guides you…

“Aliso Viejo: Just Moi – A Quiet Life, Beautifully Lived”
—
by
I loved designing my former home in Aliso Viejo. Every room carried a whisper of intention, every detail held a piece of me. It wasn’t extravagant; it didn’t need to be. It was simply, unmistakably mine. A space beautifully lived in – soft, warm, and quietly content. My little life, arranged with care, held with…

“In This Moment, I Became Someone I’m Proud to See”
—
by
I can’t fully explain it – something just shifted inside me. It was quiet, sudden, and somehow everything feels different now. I hope you get to experience a moment like this in your own life, because it changes the way you see yourself. Sometimes the classiest move is to exit – and let the clowns…

“Why Vulgarity Fails: Attention Without Respect.”
—
by
Vulgar people often chase attention the quickest way they can – by being loud, shocking, or crude – but none of that builds respect. It’s noise, not substance. And the irony is that the attention they get comes from degrading themselves and others instead of contributing anything that elevates the conversation. It isn’t comedy. It…

“A Life Interrupted”
—
by
There’s something profoundly troubling about treating a woman’s life – her love, marriage, family, career, and even her reproductive choices – as material for someone’s amusement or advantage. It reflects a deeper sickness in our culture. What’s even more disheartening is when anyone, including women, upholds or excuses this kind of behavior. It speaks to…

“Men Could Learn a Lot from Dave Grohl’s Decision To Delete Social Media.”
—
by
I’ll keep this simple and sincere. This is a heartbreaking situation for his wife and children, and there’s no minimizing that. The one hopeful element is that he seems to understand what he needs to do to keep his family together. I can only hope others take that lesson to heart. Principal Designer Jennifer Nicole…

Trying to Be Kind, But This Month Got the Best of Me. Apologies.
—
by
The past month brought a double ear infection, pneumonia, and influenza A. It’s been an unexpectedly strange stretch, and I know I haven’t been at my best. To anyone who crossed my path during this time, please accept my sincere apologies. These are illnesses I shouldn’t typically be susceptible to, which tells me my immune…

Facing Reality: Believing You’re ‘Different’ Doesn’t Protect You from Abuse
—
by
Here’s the truth: when someone is unstable or abusive, no one is immune to their behavior. You’re not somehow exempt from the reality he creates. I didn’t provoke him, yet I still became a target – so it’s worth questioning why you believe you’d be treated differently. That isn’t confidence; it is denial. When dealing…
