Yo, Should I Dump This Asshole

40 of The Most Powerful Photographs Ever Taken

I’ve made these Smitten Kitchen Salted brown butter crispy treats twice now and to quote a friend: “Mini miracle in my mouth.” Must try.

Have you downloaded your FREE copy of What I Wish I Knew Guide from Your Super Awesome Life yet? It includes my post about what I wish I had known about relationships when I was younger Eleni. Get it and share it with the teen in your life to inspire them to live a life they love starting now! It takes a village and all that, right?

Finally, Neil Gaiman’s inspiring commencement speech in comic form. I love this.
