It never occurred to me that there was a problem with the way I approached confrontation with my loved ones. I spewed my feelings, raised my voice, overreacted, brought up past grievances I had been marinating in, and went into every argument with one goal in mind: to be the victor. I believed that arguing…
I got into bed last night with every intention of going straight to sleep. But as all people who own smart phones know, there is a web-surfing rabbit hole that is easy to fall into when you are in bed, no matter how exhausted you are. You stare at your little glowing rectangle of fun with…

When I read the word “together” I instantly thought about my fiance, Isaac. Since September of 2007, we have spent almost every day together (except the year we…
The other night my fiance, Isaac, was tucking me in (yes, he does that every night).
