_Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered: The Definitive How-To Guide_ by Karen Kilgariff & Georgia Hardstark So about two years ago, I posted about the podcast My Favorite Murder with these two ladies.

Higher Vibrations

Wordsmithing: ‘there’
One of the problems with communication is using the most accurate wording to express our ideas and thoughts. As a child, I learned how to record conversations in my head when someone was arguing with or mad at me so that I could pick it apart later to replay what I would or should have…
