Hi Joanna – Thanks for posting these while you’re gone; and I hope you enjoy your vacation! Looking at your relationships list, I realized most of your articles deal with the extremes of relationships – you’re single, it’s ok; it’s over, how do you get over it; you’re married, how do you keep it fun. One of the things I would love to hear your perspective on is the in-between part… when you’re with someone and trying to figure out if this is the person you want to make a go at life with or not. I somehow always find myself in relationships where I’m actively wondering… is this the one? And figuring that out is so complicated.

Anyway, figured I’d throw that out there as you always have such good insight/advice. :)

Really enjoyed the “effortlessly beautiful” link. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who thinks those tiny shavers are the best thing ever. Also, I’ll be checking out that shampoo and conditioner mentioned. Trying to get my hair back to a healthier state after dyeing, re-dyeing, and using so much heat on it!

thanks for your transparency. I lost my brother in 2012. he went for a run and had a massive brain hemorrhage. he left behind 4 kids and his beautiful wife, my sister-inlaw. I still miss him terribly – he was vibrant, smart, full of life and an amazing big brother. my sister-inlaw has started a blog. I though you’d like this entry. there is beauty from ashes. peace Joanna. lifting you and your extended family up in my prayers.

The “how to introduce people” blew my mind when you first posted it! Hah, it is so clever and makes sense when you really think about it.

Best wishes to you all in Cali!
