The Wages of SinGod and I aren’t speaking these days. It’s not so much that I’m angry with him; but rather, his followers. Those who carry the Bible like a sword, ready to wield it against the unbelievers, ready to skewer them and call it redemption. I wasn’t always like this.

Fat Isn't a Feeling“Fat” isn’t a feeling. Fatness is a physical state of being. Thin people, please stop saying you “feel fat” because you’re bloated or unhappy with your body. If you wear straight sizes and don't shop in the plus size section, please don’t say you "feel fat." It just isn’t true.

Vanessa MouseBy Kristin Leonard QuailBellMagazine.com When I was eight, Kiddie World toy store was my favorite place in the whole wide world. It was down the street from our apartment on Steven’s Creek Boulevard, a short walk actually, and whether I went with my mother to buy some last-minute birthday gift or card, or with my brother and sister, or with an older friend, I made sure to stop at the long glass counter and look at the dolls.
