What NOT to Say to a Celebrity’s Child
Confession time: My father is somewhat famous. Since I was a little girl, I have been asked for his autograph or heard things like, "I can't believe who your dad is!"

Yes, I am proud of my dad's achievements in his profession, but he was also an abusive person in my life. THAT is who I can't believe brought me into this world and half-heartedly raised me.

Local Isn’t Always Better — at least not to their employees
One of the biggest problems with bad bosses is they don’t know they’re a bad boss. I was excited to work for a local small business in Nashville.

6 Easy Tips To Be Greener
We hear Leonardo DiCaprio talk about it all the time... going green. What does that mean exactly? Drive an electric car? Get solar paneling on your roof? Be a vegan?

It wasn't like we ruined this planet overnight. The decline in our air quality and ecosystems have been an ongoing process over centuries. However, if we don't take action, it's only going to get worse. Instead of trying to reverse the damage by turning your entire life around, small changes can help. Small changes can teach others.
One day, you won't be here, but your children and grandchildren will be. Teach them to take care of their world and all of its organisms. Show you care, even if you don't think it will make a change. It's good for your soul and sets a good example.
Try out these 6 things to help the planet. Happy Earth Day!
