Relationships & Family > Relationships & Family (Other) How to raise happy children in an unhappy world

2 of 19

This morning I read a forward that someone sent me containing a slideshow of American soldiers at war Iraq. At first, it was just asking to support them (which I do, just not the war). The second part, though, showed caskets and family members with folded flags. I couldn't help but cry. I didn't cry just because of the extrem... More..

As she opened her car door that brisk January morning, Melissa knew that this was, as corny as it seemed, the first day of the rest of her life. She was moving a thousand miles away from her family and all but one of her friends. She had no job where she was going, no place to live, and under a thousand dollars to her name. ... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Jail time for Paris: Will Hilton learn her lesson?

40 of 86

First of all, Paris Hilton's original crime, reckless driving, is an absolute mockery to anyone who has been touched by the horrors of drunk driving. She was stopped by a police officer on the way to a fast food restaurant after a late night of partying, allegedly. Of course, she appeared intoxicated, so she was given a sobri... More..

I wish that I could write in this space that George W. Bush is a tyrant. He is not a tyrant. We live in a democratic society, no matter what kinds of conspiracy theories exist. He was voted into the office of President of the United States by a majority of his constituents. King George III, however, became the King of England... More..

Entertainment > Music (Other) The importance of music in our lives

I have been a lover of music since, perhaps, before I was born. My mother went to a Journey concert while she was pregnant with me. I can't say that is the only reason I love music, though. My parents were constantly playing music of the time, going to concerts and singing along. My brother, sister and I were encouraged to kn... More..

16 of 19

In the old days, I would stay out until the wee hours of the morning, imbibing in alcohol and talking about social issues. Sometimes we talked about nonsense, about work, but it was always fun. Now, if I'm up at five in the morning, it is because one of my little ones is sick, or decides that they are starting their day. Need... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Life after baby

23 of 23

In my early twenties, I wasn't a "wild child," I didn't do drugs, but I did do whatever I wanted. On any given night, I could be found hanging out with a group of friends at a party or hopping from chic bar to chic bar, looking for fun. I could-and would-stay up all night and go into work the next day. I wouldn't be at top fo... More..
