We live in a world of technological wonder. We can stream last night’s television, and sometimes tomorrow’s movies, over the Internet to our computers and our phones. We can use webcams to have video chats with our parents on the other side of the country (or in other countries). For years, now, we’ve been able [...]

Feature Interview: Elaine Hendrix
You’ll immediately recognize actress and activist, Elaine Hendrix, from her role in the 1998 Disney remake of Parent Trap. Newcomer Lindsey Lohan was adorable. Dennis Quaid was… Dennis Quaid. Natasha Richardson was glamorous. Yet Elaine Hendrix nearly stole the show.

Feature Interview: Sarah Herrington
One reason I wanted to write from an early age is because so many writers, dead and alive, have helped me, sometimes even really saving me. … Sharing your experience through honest words is one of the best gifts you can give.
Not Absence of Fear by Deb Smouse
It’s impossible for me to write about courage without also acknowledging its mirror image: fear. Fear is necessary. It keeps us alive during unexpected events, like escaping a grizzly bear in the woods or extricating ourselves from a burning building. Living in fear, though, or allowing it to take over our lives can stunt your [...]
Baggage by Roxanne Ravenel
We love our family and friends despite this baggage. Is it because we were tricked into loving them before their baggage was revealed? Or is dealing with their baggage a small price to pay for all of the love and support we get from them?
People + Tasks + Mission + (The Basics) = Love Your Job by Elia Sheldon

An American Portrait: Chief John Grass by Bev Hamel
It is January and I am taking a break from my MFA residency at Goddard College in Vermont.

When we spoke with singer/songwriter Stacy Clark last summer, her album, “Connect the Dots,” was about to be the album of the week on iTunes.

Self-esteem…Esteem of Self by Tonie Jones
I look at the choices I have made in relationships. If I loved me so much why didn’t I choose to be with someone who loved me just as much if not more? If I felt I was so incredible how did I come to repeatedly choose to love men who were liars, cheaters and generally emotionally unavailable? Why didn’t they see how magnificent I was and, therefore treat me accordingly? Simple. Because, my self worth, my self esteem, my general level of decency as it relates to how I am treated was not theirs to manage. It was mine.
