Being Brazen

It’s a Sin to Settle on a Smaller Dream

April 12, 2010

Do you ever give up a dream? Make a compromise that seems too much like a major sacrifice? Do you stop thinking of yourself and make decisions for others? When it comes to planning ahead for the future, we want to accomplish everything that we were told we could do since we were kids. Being [...]

A Brand that Lasts Beyond a Lifetime

March 29, 2010

“Here’s looking at you, kid.” Wow. Just, wow. That line means a little something to everyone. It could be the memory of a first date, the comfort after a break up, or the suave idol a guy hoped to be. You never have to see the whole movie (though you should), but Casablanca is an [...]

Alternate Life Slipping Into Reality

March 18, 2010

I think. A lot. Probably too much. I used to suffer from severe insomnia, and when I saw a professional about it, they said it was because my mind was running too much. The minute my head hits the pillow, I’m thinking at 80mph. That makes it hard to go to sleep, and then if [...]

Why Do We Have to Hide Faith?

February 22, 2010

We don’t talk about religion. Many of us are afraid to mention it to each other. We might be on hiatus from being active in a congregation, but many of us probably look to the heavens and wonder. Is someone listening? A friend of our family passed away last week. The cancer won, and this [...]

Hi, My Name is Emily, and I Am Pro-Corporate

February 18, 2010

Yes, I admit it, I am pro-corporate. All you people who hate “the man” and are “anti-establishment” probably think I’m insane. The thing is, I don’t think I really am. See, I’m a person who likes structure. I tell everyone, “I can think outside the box, but I need a box.” Part of my jobs [...]
