What a Mormon Woman Taught Me About Truth and Clothing
How do you respond when someone tells you how to dress? Like most people, I'm resistant to the idea. It reminds me of being five years old and being told to dress up for a party. Or being in seventh grade and having to wear the dreaded gym uniform. (Mine was a unitard...

Why I Changed My Name to Z
How do you feel about your name? Do you absolutely love it? Do you jump out of bed every morning because if someone asks you what your name is, you get to say, "My name is [insert awesome name here]?" No? It's not like that? Perhaps you're ho hum about your name. You...
Speaking of Divine Revelations, Did I Tell You What Happened When I Was Washing the Dishes?
How many times a day does the Divine speak to you? Every five hours? Five minutes? Five seconds? Although I would love to be an enlightened master with 24/7 access to Divine Wisdom, this is not how I currently roll. When it comes to the spiritual path, I'm more of a...
The Terrible, Horrible Thing That Happened After My Book Reading
Have you ever lost perspective? Like, blown something out of proportion? I've been known to do this occasionally. If by occasionally, you mean daily. Over time, I've become more tempered in my reactions, less likely to blow things out of proportion. Most of the time....
My Guru Has a Tail, Episode 4: The Evil Fountain
How do you react when something new enters your environment? Do you embrace it wholeheartedly, with a smile on your face and a glow in your heart? Do you ignore it, pretending it's not really there? Or do you try to eradicate it by any means necessary, resorting to...
