In under 250 words tell us an anecdote from the best or worst date you have ever been on- from someone who looked at themselves in the mirror the whole time (their seat was facing it, but still), to the person who scored tickets to the sold out art exhibit, has art degree, and spent the evening being your personal art docent. You can remain anonymous, or include your name, city, and even a photo. We’ll publish the best in…
Moment I knew I was in love…when I was willing to share my dinner. – Shangela

I was going to write a detailed post about the winter weather (all negative with a few touches of sarcasm), but somehow that feels like homework and very ungrateful on this beautiful snow day. Therefore, here’s my report in a 100 words or less “The city is shut down and my power is still on. So, yes; I have Netflix and my clean fuzzy blanket right out the dryer, my fire place is going, and my spouse (who just whipped up this amazing cocktail that he nicked named “Dirty snow day”). I hope if you have snow that you’re having a beautiful, safe snow day as well and that you feel like a kid who doesn’t have to go to school. Yes, the responsible adult in me set up a voicemail and email informing all client and students that appointments and classes are canceled until further notice. Cheers to winter storms!

“I would stop talking about red states and blue states and start talking about the United States. I would do what they do in church. Turn to the person next to you and say, ‘Peace be with you,’ and remember that whatever fight we’re in, whatever challenge we are in, if we’re going to win it, we’ve got to be in it together.” -Peter Gallagher
“I would just put a giant freeze on everything: rent, mortgage, tax, nobody pays anything for these months. There’s no way people are going to be able to catch up. So I would just say, ‘Hey, money’s an abstract concept that we basically created, so let’s just, for a second, do a freeze. Just do a gimme. Everybody just help each other out until we’re through this, and then we’ll start up again.’” -Nathan Fillion
“I would dance. I love dancing! I would dance 14 times a day. Everybody else would too. They’d all be happy and strong. I would write stories too. I’d write stories about happy things about my family. I’d have parties in the White House to celebrate Chinese New Year with a big Chinese dragon and some red lanterns hanging up.” -Parker Curry
If I were president, teachers would not have to make an Amazon wish list for their classroom because all materials for high-quality instruction would be supplied.” -Caroline Olson
“I would unhook health insurance from employment. As a self-employed person, I’d have to gross $40,000 a year to pay for my health insurance without the Affordable Care Act. We need health care coverage that encourages people to be self-sufficient and not tied to jobs they may not like or that may go away. Second, I would unhook regional tax dollars from the school systems, because the way it works now, higher-income neighborhoods feed better schools. Kids in lower-income neighborhoods have fewer resources in school. If education is the great equalizer, where’s the equality? These two things could disrupt our country in a very good way and enable more independence and wealth-building.” -Theresa Wells Stifel
Finding joy has been tricky lately. May I suggest a little romance? Breakfast in bed, flowers or a small gift for your honey may bring the simple but important things into focus. Displaying love ignites our core…
