I don’t make stupid resolutions. Why? Because I never keep them and I feel like I’ve then lied to myself and I am inevitably disappointed in myself, and who needs that? What I will do though, is try to start the new year off with inner peace and strength of soul. [...]

puppy power!
No, I’m not referring to Scrappy Doo! My FiFi had puppies this morning!!! I woke up at around 5:20 this morning to a whimpering sound coming from FiFi. I thought she had to go out, but as I listened, it sounded more like a panting ache, like when a woman is in labor. [...]
