March Comes in Like a Lion continues to move forward with its bullying arc, which has been presented so vividly in the way we’d expect of Shinbo and Shaft. The length of this arc is significant—the bullying isn’t quickly resolved in one or two episodes. It’s slow and spreading, a complex organism that isn’t easily… Read More How Did the Bullying Stop for You?
Episode nine of Kino’s Journey is a collection of short episodes of her travels, as well as one of Shizu’s. Most are humorous: a bandit’s advice about not attacking Kino’s group or Shizu’s, based on terrifying memories of Kino’s master; an even more terrifying tale of Kino’s cooking; Ti’s thoughts about the validity of making… Read More Kino’s Journey ~ The Beautiful World ~ Episode 9: Pray or Do?
A piece of advice I often give on social media is, “Do the best you can and that’s enough.” It sounds trite, but I mean it. I try to mean it.

Thanksgiving is my fav-fav-favorite holiday! I just absolutely love it—the smells, the tastes, the feel, the sights. It’s a day I look forward to every year. I also love how that, even if we forget to actually be thankful on this day, the idea that Americans travel the country to eat a big dinner with… Read More Happy Thanksgiving!
I know I should be thankful. I know this. I’ve watched It’s a Wonderful Life a million times, I pray prayers of thanksgiving, and I frequently talk with my family about the situations others are suffering through elsewhere in the world.
