I am such a Pacific Northwest girl.

Finding your passion isn't just about careers and money. It's about finding your authentic self. The one you've buried beneath other people's needs.

[P]rogressivism is a top-down, continent-wide tissue of taxes, mandates, and other coercions.

America has a critical place to play in the end of extreme poverty.

But, once you get a taste for shutting people up, it's hard to stop. Why bother winning the debate when it's easier to close it down?

Love more and openly.
