Outside Appearances
Affect our internal mindset
Peering at herself, she brought two things to a spot on her face. Pinching hard, she winced at the pain.
"What do you think you're doing?" Her father's entrance was unannounced.
Putting her hands down, she started to cry. "Dad? How come I'm not beautiful?"
"What do you mean?"
"Mom's pretty, Anna's pretty, even Jason's pretty. And I'm- I'm- not..." She broke down.
"Honey," he grabbed held her wrists gently, "look at me. Don't let those magazines or what those mean kids at school get to you, but more importantly, don't let you get to you. You're lovely."
"Thanks Dad."

The Abominable No-Meatman
So, I had an idea. I was wondering if Pennywise the dancing clown went vegan because he wanted to befriend humanity, what would he eat? Would there be food options for him, or would he have to starve just to be put in a better light with us humans. So I’ve created a special restaurant and menu just for him. This way, if Pennywise were to become vegan, he wouldn’t have to get creative with his dietary choices, I’ve done it for him. I’ve taken the work out of going vegan on his behalf! Here is a special restaurant and menu I made just for our friend, Pennywise!

The night the heavens cry.
Once upon a time, in a charming village nestled between hills and lush forests, there lived a young lady named Anna. Anna had always been fascinated by the heavens that covered the night sky, the stars twinkling lights a source of comfort and wonder for her. She often spent her evenings sitting atop the grassy hill in her village and gazing up at the vast space above her head. Many times Anna got lost in her dreams and thoughts while staring at the night sky.
