Why do women watch, listen and read so much true crime? Is it to keep the boogey man at bay or to prepare themselves so if it happens to them they will a little more prepared? Most women, even tall strong women, can be overpowered by almost any man. I have tried to explain to …
Today I want to talk about what being creative means! Some people seem to know about creativity from a young age… they decide that they are going to be an artist, writer, dancer or anything else they want to be early on and their parents and the world seem to conspire to make it happen. …
