The Fight For Binky
This is Binky, also know as Bink, BinkBonk, Mr. Bonkerman, and Binkity Bonk. He's a nine year old American Ringtail who looks black, but a good ray of sun reveals brown tabby stripes. He's a menace with zero teeth, but claws that he uses to walk up furniture and your leg since jumping is just too hard a concept to grasp it seems. All he wants are kisses and to burrow under blankets with you. And this is the story of how we came to have this angel.

Blessed Curse
Never have I felt such rage at the world as I did that night. I ran through the thick trees, the shouts of my family and the man they wished to marry me off to fading with the light. Small animals scattered before me, feeling an echo of the terror ripping through my breast touch their own as my heels sank into their homes. I paid no mind until one heel snapped, sending me flying into a clearing. After flinging what remained of my shoes off my feet, I looked up to see the light of the moon tinging thousands of tightly closed flowers silver.

Farming in Australia
A few years ago now, I decided that I was tired of waiting. I wanted to go to Australia, a place I had been dreaming of since I was a kid and used to watch Steve Irwin's Crocodile Hunter show religiously. I constantly used to fantasize about sneaking aboard a boat and making my way through the Outback to find him amongst the animals, where I would ask him to make me his apprentice and teach me everything he knew about the natural world.

Thankful for You, Love
I've always convinced myself that there is a fundamental part of my being that is too broken beyond repair to ever allow anyone to actually "love" me. Sure, my loved ones would love me, but only bits and pieces, only the parts that I've spent countless years tailoring to be "lovable." Because, sure, I'm lovable, but for the majority of my life I believed being lovable was only possible under strict Terms and Conditions.

Heart On My Sleeve
I'll never forget the day I got some of the worst news of my life; I remember everything from that morning, down to every detail of the Pokemon episode I was watching with my brothers. My mother got a call in the next room. The grief in her voice when I heard her say "What?" drew my attention from the battle on the screen. I looked over just in time to see her slide down until she was lying on the couch, hand over her mouth. I can't explain the terror I felt in my chest when she called my name. My legs didn't want to move; they trembled so hard I barely made it over to her. Looking down into her eyes, it was almost as though I already knew. My heart began to break before she could open her mouth to say to me, "Katie's dead." I broke instantly. It was the summer after second grade. I hardly had a concept of what death was. But when she said those words to me, I felt this great chasm open up within me and somehow I just knew, I was never going to see my best friend again.
