Cleaning: My Dirty Secret
Who doesn’t love a stack of freshly laundered clothing or the delicate lines of a vacuum trail? Shiny surfaces germ-free environments and the lovely citrus scent of soaps and detergents; why don’t we clean more often? How could cleaning ever be a bad thing?

Saying Goodbye (For Now) To My Morbid Hobby Turned Obsession
In recent years, I’ve taken up a, more often than not, rather morbid hobby; one that millions of Americans indulge in every day.

How To Know If You’re Growing As A Person
Growth. We all want to experience it and feel the glow of changing for the better. We want to shed out of our ways like an old skin to reveal the beautiful butterfly that lies within.
