Coping Coping has so many different faces. I have many ways of coping but unfortunately it's many times internalizing that helps me. I have found that I have a tough temper and that I can be very defensive. To handle that best, I need to bite my tongue and walk away. I have grown up in...

The whole situation stemmed from Gene's jealousy. All he did was reverse the situation, and put himself in Phineas's shoes (and his clothes). Now it was Gene who would be changed forever from Phineas's hurt and jealousy towards him. Gene almost had to make up for the fact he had hurt ...

Cameronized Denver! There are no words to describe my love and passion for the city of Denver, Colorado. The mountains, the skyline there is nothing like it. No city is quite like Denver. The most important part of why I love Denver is because I was born and raised there for 7 years. I hadn'...

"The Homeplace" Pulling onto the dirt roads from town I begin to think of my childhood. We pass the family plot and I think how much I have seen it grow in my lifetime. It makes me wonder how my great grandmother was the one who bought the plot when she was young and how no one had been...
