Dear 25 Year Old Me, First, let me start by thanking you for all those years you saved money in your stock accounts. Not only did we get the stock option bonus for completing a higher level degree (paid for by our employer) but you were able to manage your portfolio in a way that […]
It’s hard to argue with your friends and colleagues about not wanting to return to work when all we are taught since we are five years old is to go to school and get a job. As much as I’d love to say that yes, at least I get a paycheck, then irony is that […]
It has already been a month since we started fostering Zach and we have fallen in love him every step of the journey. Although his anxiety is still palpable, and some noises paralyze his core, he has learned to tolerate most machines, vehicles and high pitch sounds. When my husband and I are around, he […]
During the last three years I have noticed a resurgence of all things procedural. Be it Law and Order SVU, CSI, NCIS and online sensations like Serial, Undisclosed and Making a Murderer, investigating crimes and pleading for the wrongfully accused has become mainstream.

Zach just went outside on his first snow day ever! He loves to lick the balls that froze overnight, especially his Jolly Ball. Usually I wouldn’t make a big deal out of such a small event but considering how happy and non-plussed he seems, it is worth sharing. Thanks to the many volunteers and foster […]
Zach’s last day on planet Earth would have been December 13th. 😦 By pure luck, I stumbled upon his information by doing a Google search on pitbull/lab mix dogs: He was a puppy, homeless, and asking for a superhero to save him. The call moved me so much so that I begged my husband to let […]
