Show RESPECT
Respect isn't complicated.
We honor names, titles, and ranks because we value people.
Pronouns are no different.
They're part of who someone is.
Using them correctly costs nothing but means everything.

Sweet Honey on the Tongue
Apple Baklava

This one was inspired by the high holidays’ celebration of apples and honey.

I can’t help but get a little nutty, and needed walnuts too.

Comparing Polyamory and Reverse Harem

That mix-up can make real polyamory seem more taboo than it truly is.

I prefer to write about real polyamory in my romance novels.

Monogamy doesn't eliminate jealousy.

Critics of polyamory often claim jealousy dooms the relationships, but jealousy shows up in all relationship styles.

Is Polyamory morally wrong?
Of course it isn't morally wrong!
It is based on honesty and love
Its moral strength lies in the fact that it rejects secrecy
Respect and integrity make relationships moral

Gluten Free Chocolate Marshmallows
This is a simple recipe only takes about a half hour of effort.

The cooling time is long but truly worth it. Once you enjoy homemade marshmallows, store-bought bought will never taste as good.

Freshly-squeezed is always the best
And I love lots of flavors
Today’s choice- watermelon lemonade

Next to hot coffee, cold lemonade is my favorite drink of choice while writing.
