Same Thing Just Different People – When “Fix It” Means “Kill It”

Karin Kallmaker 04/04/2017 LIFE + STYLE 2 Comments

Reblog: The Lucky Ones by Lise MacTague

Karin Kallmaker 06/15/2016 LIFE + STYLE 2 Comments

A profound and lyric essay by Lise MacTague that resonated with me and I think will with many of you.

  • Reader Comments about Car Pool
    It was as if she knew me, and created the character of Shay right out of my life.
