The right words at the right time

Transforming Your Body Image by Leah Carey

This has been a horrific week for the people of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The murder of Melissa Jenkins, which made national headlines earlier this week, is the kind of thing that seems unthinkable until it happens.  And for the first time, I was part of the media covering the story.

This isn’t supposed to happen here

When you live in a small town, it often feels like you should be isolated from the problems found in cities. Sadly, it’s not true.

Yesterday Melissa Jenkins, a woman who was just a couple years behind me in high school, was kidnapped. The story made national news because her two-year-old son was left unharmed …

Losing a friend, gaining an angel

I am terribly sad to report that the friend I have mentioned in my last two posts passed away last night.  Evie Spodnik played several roles in my life, including childhood teacher and adult friend.  She followed her passions with a drive and enthusiasm that moved mountains.

Appropriate use of power

I had an interesting conversation with a wonderful friend today that got me thinking about personal power and how we use it.
