Never a Dull Moment

Things never quite end up the way I worry that they will. See my video for a recap of my dentist appointment and my run-in with the law today. Pardon the bad lighting, bad outfit and bad hair portrayed in this video. This is really just how I roll at home.

A Life in the Dentist’s Chair

On a regular day, the history of my mouth isn’t something I even think about, but the moment I walk into a dental office, that familiar smell nearly knocks me to my knees with dread. Memories of countless times before, sitting anxiously in the waiting room, flipping through magazines, wishing I was a model with naturally perfect teeth, wishing […]

Write or Draw or Paint?

I would never admit to having too many creative outlets – to me there is no such thing. My struggle is finding the time to do them all.

Everybody’s Got Something

It is the first day of first grade. I’m decked out in my favorite dress (blue, of course) with matching barrettes in my hair. I haven’t yet grown to dread the bus ride or the seemingly endless succession of school days that lie ahead. I climb onto the mostly empty bus, take a seat about halfway back […]

Shameless Video Blerg

It’s been over a year since I’ve posted any videos on my blog, and even then, I only posted two before now. As part of the Blogging 101 project they suggest trying out some things that you don’t usually do on your blog. So here’s a video blog post. I actually made a bunch of […]

It’s Only Tuesday

I’m not one to wish the days away, but going back to a full work week after two nice, long holiday weekends is rough. Last night I gave my 6th Toastmaster speech. I might be starting to get the hang of it. I spent a ton of time preparing a PowerPoint presentation to accompany my speech, […]

Who I am and Why I’m Here

Hello! Happy New Year! One of my objectives in 2016 is to improve my blog by posting more often, posting more interesting content and reaching more people. I also want to take the time to read other people’s blogs and make some blog buddies. (If that’s a thing… if not, I’m going to make it […]

If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 6 trips to carry that many people. Click here to […]

Kicking the Habit

Hi, my name is Heather and I’m a Facebook addict. What’s that saying? The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem? Telling people you have a Facebook addiction doesn’t quite get the same reaction as saying you’re battling an alcohol or drug addiction. It’s not like anyone’s ever died from Facebooking too […]

Major Life Influence #2: Moving to Vermont at 16

This is the second of a five-post series of major life influences. See here for where it all began, and here for the first major influence. The second major life influence was when my family left the Philadelphia area and moved to rural Vermont the summer I turned 16. We had only discovered Vermont a year […]
