I hope my desire to travel so much isn't forever because it's not the most conducive lifestyle for a relationship or a family by any means.

My hope is that I can somehow raise the level of consciousness about world events.

Too often, we spend our days thinking about what we don't have rather than what we do have. Be grateful every day.

My husband and I try to spend some time every night that I'm home talking without distractions.

We have had a long held myth of American exceptionalism.

I honestly never had the biological need to reproduce until I met my husband. But by the same token, even if we were unsuccessful, we were totally okay with adopting.

When did an old white guy yelling at me, telling me what to think become news? What gives him the right to tell me what to think? When was the last time he was in Iraq or Afghanistan or Sri Lanka... or anywhere that didn't have a beach?
