Crape or Crepe?

/ Dora Hiers

So what is it? Do you spell your Myrtle with an a or an e?

Actually, depending on the region, people across the world use more than just these two variations. The debate rages over the spelling of the beautiful plant, which grows in different sizes and shapes, and blooms in a multitude of colors.

We do that with more than just words.

Sometimes, we get so bogged down in the trivial stuff. The unimportant matters. We argue. We debate.

We neglect the beauty. We fail to celebrate the difference.

So crape or crepe…does it really matter?

Just…Enjoy. Embrace. Celebrate.

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. ~Audre Lorde

Morning Glory

/ Dora Hiers

Nothing more beautiful first thing in the morning than to wake up and wander down the stairs, following a trail of caffeine.

How do you take your morning? Coffee, hot chocolate, hot tea, soda?

For me, it’s a giant latte, extra hot, the stronger the better. In my teens, I drank a soda every morning. It wasn’t until my mid twenties that I switched to coffee.

What about you? How do you kick your morning into gear?
