Cynthia clutched her granddaughter Molly's hand. The teenager's skin was smooth and soft against her wrinkles, and Cynthia couldn't help but smile to herself. She could still remember when her own hands

Meet my shorts. They're denim, and about 2 months old (though the label on them reads 'Forever 21'). They are shorter than any pair of shorts I have ever owned or worn before in my life! I bought these

Hello Steemians! I am truly honoured and super excited to be a part of @rycharde's Minnows Accelerator project. I'd be truly grateful if you visited the post and voted for me in the comments (simply upvote

As someone who has struggled with weight and body image issues for a great deal of her life, I remember always wanting to look a certain way. Every magazine or TV show was only too happy to provide a template,

Continuing with my series on my recent travel to California, here's a peek at Ocean Boulevard and 17 Mile Drive. 17 Mile Drive is a stunning stretch of residential (I know, right!) property, that has turned

In defining the term "fusion", the dictionary uses, among others, the terms "melting together" and "union". My sappy, poetic soul loves the depth behind these terms. I love

Sharing this post I had written for myself, as I waited to greet the sunrise on New Year's Day 2013. I know it's very old, but reading it again made me feel a deeper connection to my younger self. It also

What if I told you, you could be a whole new person in as little as a month? Sound far-fetched? I imagine it would. The largely popular concept of ‘21 days to form a habit’ is actually a misinterpreted

I'm a big fan of home workouts. They offer me the convenience of choosing when to workout, and the 'where' is taken care of. This is particularly helpful on days when lethargy rears its ugly head. Working
