    October 10, 2018 - By R.D. Hayes

    I don’t want my daughter’s thinking they need to get married. I don’t want them to think they need a partner to define who they are. I also don’t want them thinking they need to have kids in order to fulfill their womanhood. Marriage and childbirth should always be an…

    No Rescue for this Damsel in Distress

    October 6, 2015 - By R.D. Hayes

    How Not to Hurry

    January 31, 2015 - By R.D. Hayes

    “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” ~ Lao Tzu Consider the above quote from Lao Tzu, (perhaps mythical) father of Taoism: how can it be true? Is it possible not to hurry, but to get everything done? It seems contradictory to our modern world, where everything is a rush…

    Memories, Panic Attacks, and Possibly a Girl Being Eaten By a Wolf

    May 1, 2014 - By R.D. Hayes
