Man on a Cliff
A lone man stands at the edge of the cliff, rocks descending for hundreds of feet below. Water laps against the stone at the bottom, eating away at years of compressed minerals. The sky stays overcast with marshmallow clouds; the green hills and grey, rocky cliffs stretched for miles. The man wore a beige cotton button-up tucked into khaki pants with suspenders over his shoulders and worn brown loafers. A Sunday evening, the church let out.

Burning Down
The porch lights on the cabin twinkled in the darkness as the group of friends approached it on that frigid wither night. The front door creaked open as they neared, and out came an old woman. Her skin had wrinkled to the point of hiding any outstanding features she may have once shown. She welcomed them in and warned them that there were animals in the cabin. This became clear to them as they heard the pitter-patter of feet running towards them and were greeted by a loudly oinking pig. The pig was followed by her piglet, both of which the woman shooed away before showing the group to their room.

The Time is Now
The time is now to live your life, To spread your wings and learn to fly. Now is not the time to live in strife. To your past troubles, say goodbye.

Adventures Together
Sitting on the porch of their new house in the evenings was becoming a regular thing for them. They were proud of their little abode. Most of the couples they knew were still renting after graduation, but this was theirs.

The Church that Built My Politics
Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote seven principles that act as strong values and moral guides. The inherent worth and dignity of every person. Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within congregations and in society at large. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

What Teaching Taught Me About Communicating
I spent the 2018-19 school year as a Special Education Instructional Aide. While not having all the duties of a teacher, I learned a lot about the kind of teacher I want to be. I learned what works for me and what doesn't when it comes to classroom management and building relationships. I've learned more about what my values are when it comes to building my classroom environment.

Marry Your Best Friend
I saw a post on Facebook that read, "Build a friendship before marrying someone. Marry your best friend." It got me thinking about what that actually means.

You Can't Pour From an Empty Glass
My husband has Crohn's Disease. He was diagnosed in November 2017 after a year-long battle with the illness that left him 60 lbs lighter, missing 14 inches of the small intestine that was taken out—because it was necrotic—following a colostomy, and an ileostomy, both of which have since been taken down. His surgeon described his GI tract as "looking like a bomb went off inside him," and stated that he wouldn't have been alive by Christmas 2017 if they hadn't caught it when they did. We had been dating for two months at this point.
