Netflix’s Avatar The Last Airbender
Since I was 14 years old Avatar the Last Airbender has been a favorite. Unbeknownst to my friends and classmates I would look forward to rushing home during high school not to watch One Tree Hill or Gilmore Girls but this Nickelodeon cartoon. And while I could not...
The Barbie Movie
Before going to see the Barbie movie my main question was: what is the agenda going to be? I had never seen a more aggressive or effective marketing campaign and was sooo interested in this movie that otherwise, I probably would have skipped. So here's a tracking of...
D&D Honor Among Thieves
To preface I have never played a game of D&D or seen any of the movies before this. In fact I did not even know others existed until looking deeper into this film. I am however a lover of the fantasy genre and comedies so will be coming at this from that...

Gone, Gone, Gone
Gone, Gone, Gone In my writer's classes we would talk about the Protagonist's journey. Fiction novels, especially fantasy, often follow a pattern where the majority of the Hero's story takes place in a "special world." That can be a metaphorical or physical...

The Good Fight
The Good Fight I knew a young girl once who was very firm in her conviction that she was definitely not a Christian. This was despite being raised by a Christian mother and even living on a missions base surrounded by people who were fervently following the Lord. I...
Not Alone
"Not Alone" - by the band RED The towering wave crashes over me and I go under. Struggling to the surface I gasp for air; It's a momentary reprieve before another comes. Wave after wave crashes over me with out ceasing, and no matter what I do I can't catch my breath....

100 Years
100 Years Today marks two weeks since my sister's wedding so I wanted to dedicate this post to her. On Friday May 30th, she was married and I couldn't be happier for her. It was a beautiful ceremony, small and intimate, with only family and a very few close friends....
Falling Slowly
"Falling Slowly . . . and I Can't Go Back" Once Love. That illusive emotion. What we strive for, and yet, so often don’t find. I had given up on it ever finding me. It seemed hopeless and I feared I would never find "the one." What I never realized was love doesn't...
