    Redefining Femininity: Embracing Diversity in Beauty and Suzanne Sugarbaker

    My mom is the kind of beautiful that turns heads in the grocery store. Small and willowy, with blonde hair and deep blue eyes, she has always looked like she stepped out of a fashion magazine. Her hair is always done and she matches her shoes to her handbag. Next to her, I used to…

    Wednesday Whimsy

    Today I want to give you something: a bit of writing that took over my brain as I was trying to work on an actual writing project. But, if you’re an artist, you know that those brain worms can’t be denied, and so here it is, a bit of whimsy and something unfinished but still…
