Divine Dining
Deprivation diets do damage Duplicitous dietitians derive dividends Devour dessert ************* This poem was inspired by Gwyneth Paltrowâs now infamous interview where she lists her typical diet consisting of coffee for breakfast, bone broth for lunch, Paleo dinner, and of course, an IV of Glutathione or phosphatidylcholine. The wellness and lifestyle brand mogul faces criticism for promoting disordered eating. You can watch clips from the interview here.

The Caretaker of Cavendish Manor
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. She had the same brown hair, same blackheads, same tired eyes looking back at me, but somehow I knew she was a fake. It was in the expression on her face, as if she was keeping a secret. I scoffed at her, spraying the antique mirror with some cleaning solution and wiping it with a cloth. The rest of the parlorâs furnishings were shrouded in dust covers. I thought it best to keep them covered and only use what was necessary.

My Daughter's Favorite Books
My 8 year old loves to read. I credit my husband, who began homeschooling her in 2020. We read to her often when she was little. It was so rewarding when sheâd cuddle up, laughing at the funny parts and gasping at the exciting parts of the story.

Doe Money, Doe Problems
âGet a real job,â they said. âFrolicking in the woods wonât pay the bills no matter how âmajesticâ you are.â So I got my resume together, made a Linkedin profile, and applied to a bunch of places. It took about six months, but I finally got a job at a company that handles intellectual property. Itâs not what I went to school for, just something I could learn on the job.
