Yes, Virginia, There Are Good Samaritans | December 28, 2011

Yes, Virginia, There Are Good Samaritans

Letter to the Editor

Amidst daily news of crime and corruption there also exist humbling acts of human goodness that too often go unreported. These invisible threads of hope interwoven throughout our community offer some of the best unexpected gifts we’ll ever receive.

A few months ago my husband dropped his wallet in a restaurant parking lot and didn’t realize he’d lost it until hours later. We drove back to the establishment to search for it but it was gone. The manager said he’d call us if anyone reported finding it, but we knew that was unlikely by then. When we got … Read More »

Young Energetic Dog Wants to Move From Crate to Bed | December 27, 2011

Young Energetic Dog Wants to Move From Crate to Bed

Dear Inquisitive Canine,

Hellooo, my name is Hazel and I have a question. I am an 18-month-old crazy retriever mix – a little Chessie, Golden and Lab all rolled into one.  I think I am pretty smart, and I am definitely cute. I have been crate trained, but want to move to a nice comfy bed without borders.

The problem is that my people aren’t sure I can be trusted not to chew things in the middle of the night, including wallets, cell phones, TV remotes and sunglasses. (And books because I LOVE paper). I’m also quite adept at standing on my hind … Read More »

Make 2012 the Year to Stop Enduring and Start Living the Life YOU Really Want | December 27, 2011

Make 2012 the Year to Stop Enduring and Start Living the Life YOU Really Want

2011 is drawing to a close and, for many recession-wracked American women; it feels like just another mile marker in an endurance race going nowhere. Depressing, but true. We trudge through the week at a dreary job, drive home fretting about money, and spend our evenings robot-walking through the usual haze of homework battles and half-finished chores. Passion and fulfillment? Nope, just sheer survival. And the worst part is, most of us have meekly accepted that this is how it has to be right now.

Buck up, girlfriend! You can do a lot more than (barely) get by—and 2012 can be … Read More »
