Pamela Clare's blog:
Let me just say that pneumonia sucks. I totally understand now how this illness can kill people. There were a few nights when I wondered whether the combination of asthma and pneumonia would make me either faint or just stop breathing. That's how hard I was coughing. The world would just start to go... read more »

Have you heard about Act Of Valor yet? It's a new movie coming out this week, and it features active duty Navy SEALs.No, really. The actors are the real deal, in realistic situations.

Lena Hillbrand's blog:
The first love, the first hurt,
Too young to know the difference
And stuck forever as friends,
We went on pretending neither knew,
I guess in that there was some truth,
I had no idea how to proceed,
I held it tight and close to me
While I sobbed in my pillow at night,
Wondering how one co... read more »
Rachel Hartman's blog:
Here's something you may not know about me: I have belly-danced in restaurants. I've danced on stages, too, but I prefer restaurants to the stage.
I won't pretend it's not nerve-wracking. You can see your audience clearly when they scowl or laugh or look terrified. There i...

Brené Brown's blog:
Before the breakdown spiritual awakening, I lived by the motto, "Let go and let Brené." As you can imagine, it wasn't very effective.
Turning things over is not an easy process for me. Several years ago I made a God box and it really helped. I found tremendous comfort in the proc...

Emotion is necessary in all walks of life, the arts most of all. If you're not passionate about something it becomes mediocre and dull, a lifeless thing lying limp on the doorstep of what you might have achieved. It is a double-edged blade, however, ready to slice back at the wielder if used incorre...
