I have posted this picture in response to the “State of Mind” Daily Post photo challenge. Every day, we are all pulled in different directions. I am a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter. I am a blogger, I am who I was yesterday, and who I am still in the process of becoming. We… Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge:State of Mind

This post is in response to the Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: Seasons. The above picture pretty much sums up the world that I’ve lived in since November 2015. Snow, cold, and lots of snowmen. I’ve loved it. Its beautiful. But, I’m ready for Spring. Luckily, I live in a place where all four seasons faithfully and… Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Seasons

Oh, that must be because you aren’t… Continue reading Marie Antoinette Goes Country

Young, female, and unarmed (save for the written word), Sophie Scholl and the members of the White Rose dared take on one of the most evil and powerful characters in human history. Image above credit :https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Sophie_Scholl_portrait.jpg I thought I’d do a little web dictionary hunt… Continue reading A “Good” Traitor: Sophie Scholl and the White Rose

Benedict Arnold’s name has become synonymous with treason; history remembers him as a class-A scumbag. Why? Well, let me give you the history… Continue reading Giving Benedict Arnold the boot. Literally.
If you think of some of the most famous historical spots in the world, what comes to mind? The Colosseum? The Pyramids at Giza? Stonehenge? Every year, millions of tourists travel to see these places because they are the physical embodiment of history. One can stand in these places and say, “this is the spot… Continue reading Officially Historical
