Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: My dog: 4 of 109
I sat down today at a coffee shoppe with a magazine and as so often happens when I do this I really started thinking.

Pets & Animals > Dogs (Other) Should restaurants allow dogs in with their owners?: 4 of 25
It's my preference to be able to take my dog everywhere I go. She is calm, well mannered and respectful of others.

Both inhibitors to ... More..

It was New Years Eve and I was anxious to close the door on what had been a rather horrible year. The stress in my life was overwhelming.

Pets & Animals > Dog Accessories Practicalities of dog clothing: 7 of 14
Practical dog clothing is not an oxymoron. Even though people who like to oppose the concept of dog clothing don't like to acknowledge it, dogs that do not live outside all the time do honestly need some protection from cold and rain. Like people who live indoors in a heated home and not in an unheated cabin in the woods they... More..

In a home where dogs and cats must co-exist it is truly best to spend some time and effort on training all the animals on how to get along.

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Concepts (Other) Free will versus predestination: 48 of 72
I choose to argue that there is no reason to pit free will against predestination in an argument because they are mutually exclusive and not congruent. Predestination as it is defined in the hebrew is "a foreknowing of events," put simply, a knowledge of things to come. The Bible indicates that God predestined the events of t... More..

When we're talking about our dreams and making those dreams come true, the first thing to do is to realize that a dream is a goal or an aspiration and that you must shift your perspective on it. If you honestly think it's just a dream you will not do what it takes to achieve that aspiration. You can effectively make the shift... More..

It was the 4th of July and my new husband and I were visiting friends on their farm in Ohio. We had been warned that there was a new litter of kittens and that they were ready to leave mom.

Celebrations & Holidays > Wedding Budget Options for financing your wedding: 11 of 14
There are so many ways to approach financing your wedding, it's almost ridiculous. The thing I really want to caution any couple against is taking out any loans or placing significant amounts on credit cards. A large debt is not the best way to start out any new life together. With as much as money strains a marriage, the bes... More..
