This is a guest post written by Michelle of Let’s Radiate and Bombchelle. I used to not be very good at choosing my friends. (Understatement of the year, right there.) I distinctly remember an incident in my sixth grade art class, where we paired up to draw portraits of each other. I paired up with [...]

So I don’t typically post on Saturday, but I thought I would take the opportunity to do something a little fun. In the (very) near future I am going to write a couple of posts about the connection between your body, your voice, and your wallet. I truly believe that our power is in our [...]

Raise your hand if you have at least three windows open other than this blog, or other than this blog post in your google reader.

Recently, I was watching the film Miss Representation, and I must admit, though I consider myself to be a media-literate person overall – I am still [...]
You all know that I love a little Alexandra Franzen. I love her site. I love her words. I love her the things that she makes me think. But, most of all? I loved this post. It’s ok.. you can skip on over and read it, I’ll wait. Your unresolved stories are sick. More specifically [...]
This week I was supposed to post about the Girl Effect, but things have been mayhemish (more on that tomorrow with a doozy – what to do when NOTHING goes your way). And I thought, well, the deadline has passed me by – let it go. Then. I read this post on White Hot Truth: [...]
