Leap year and Sadie Hawkins day
Sadie Hawkins origin Most people assume that Valentine’s Day on February 14th is what makes the second month of the year a time of romance. There is another event that takes place in the shortest month, but only comes around every four years. On the 29th of February during Leap Year there is a special occasion that young people may not be familiar with. This auspicious observation is called Sadie Hawkins Day and once upon a time it used to be quite a big deal. Sadie Hawkins came from the mind of cartoonist Al Capp in his classic hillbilly comic strip Li'l Abner. Many baby boomers grew up reading about the escapades of the hillbillies on weekdays in the new paper on a page that was just for comics and was known then as the funny papers.

Winter Extraordinaire: Christmas in Park City, UT
May all the best wine in the world flow into your cup… A brave man took on the task of teaching my Mom and I how to ski this winter. What a sight we must have been; arriving late, fumblingly in our clunky ski boots and extremely frazzled to our ski lesson. By the time we got to the meeting place I wasn’t sure I desired to learn to ski anymore. But then we met Jon, our ski coach. A man that could be mistaken for Santa Clause minus the beard; John met our frazzled state with a much needed sense of peace and overall enjoyment of the snowy mountains surrounding us. On the whole, the Park City Ski School team did a fabulous job assuring us that everything would be just fine and ushering us up the mountain, leaving our present worries and anxieties to the wind.

What if's
What if's are a natural part of any relationship, it's the part you analyse most after you said something you shouldn't have or accepted something that was said to you after the fact. And truth is you will never know for sure what's real because you don't know what happens behind closed doors, conversations with themselves, or other people. actions they take to themselves or with other people.

Light Skinned vs Dark Skinned. Now This Is Bullshit.
Why do black people discriminate against themselves? Light Skinned vs Dark Skinned, I didn’t know this existed until I joined high school. Girls were shocking when picking on others about their complexion, to me this just was strange. I had a girl approach me and ask me if I thought I was beautiful just because I was light skinned. This left me perplexed, never had I walked around feeling any more beautiful because of my complexion. I always knew no matter your shade, your black and we all fit together as one. Growing up as a black girl no matter your shade or race we respected each other, well at least that’s what I thought.

Are we loving or containing?
What is it about beauty that makes us want to contain it for ourselves? When an amazing love crashes into us and catches us off guard, is it not human nature to want it around us as much as possible? We are at a point in society that we associate quantity with quality. More is better. Always. What could be better than a bag of delicious M&M's?

Manhood Before 30
Have you ever seen those annoying drivers who can't make up their mind on which lane they’re in? Those drivers who drive slow and take forever just to simply change up a gear when they come into the fast lane? They do 40 when they know full well it's a 50mph zone! "What on Earth are they playing at?” They are so incompetent on the road that their passenger always has to give them clear instructions on which way to turn. They're such "special" drivers that they need to have a special cone on the top of their car with the big red "L". You know who I'm talking about... Learners!
