     It's pretty much my dogs birthday this month, so I thought I would write a little something about her.     Dogs aren't called mans best friend for no reason, dogs are one of the only species including humans to use eye contact to communicate and react to "emotions" for example if I am crying or have a sad look in my eyes my dog will seem to copy the look but then kiss me and smile with her eyes. I promise I'm not crazy, but that is what it is like. If I smile then her eyes get bigger and look happier, If I am upset she tries not to make eye contact with me.      I never thought I would love a chihuahua, and although she does have a feisty personality with strangers, she is loving and comforting to me, and to the people she befriends(after a couple of days and lots of treats) She is there for me whenever I need her, and makes me laugh when I'm having a bad day. Dogs are my second favorite animal to the wolf, I mean they are kind of the same thing, bu

http://liveactionnews.org/11-things-pro-choicers-dont-get/ I agree with everything this women said in this article. I think when women abort their child they never forget, and I think it haunts them for the rest of their lives. If a girl is sleeping around and quite frankly just being a "slut" and doesn't care about herself enough to be careful, then getting pregnant is the natural consequence of her actions and she should have to deal with it, not hide from it.  Abortion is just a way out from maturing, its a way to try and hide your past mistakes and a disillusioned chance to have a clean slate and get your life together. Chances are if your having an abortion then your life isn't where you want it to be and you don't feel happy and secure enough to have that child. But killing that child isn't going to make your life any better, its not going to get you the job you want or stop you from making the same mistakes, but keeping that child forces you to change

This is an essay that I wrote for my Focused Inquiry class at VCU. Read and comment below New Beginnings By Arianna Brown Two years ago I would have never been able to imagine going to an amazing art school in Richmond, Virginia; I never thought I could be happy and confident in myself like I am now. Two years ago I was lost and in such a dark and depressing abyss; my dreams of the future were clouded and nearly non-existent. I was trapped in a unhealthy relationship that was tearing my life apart in all directions. But here I am today, in Richmond, Virginia attending college at one of the top art schools in the nation and living alone in my very own house. No one would know what I have gone through by meeting me for the first time. I am so happy and optimistic about life now, and you can’t see the pain in my eyes anymore. I try not to tell a “sob story” about my past—I don’t want sympathy from anyone and I don’t want anyone to think of me any differently because of it, bu

I find your on my mind and it happens from time to time your a part of who I am a part of who I was, and for some reason or another,  I think of you a lot. I think of where you are,  what your doing with your life if the drug world that your in,  is tearing you apart I know that you got caught and arrested twice but even with all that, your still not guna stop I wish you would change,  but maybe there is no good left in you I wish that you didn't give up faith  and that you cared enough to quit addiction is a b*tch but drugs is all a choice, taking that first hit, then rollin on x then ralling the white snow when were you going to stop? after you got shot? the road your heading down, leads you straight down to hell, and your not getting off, your not putting on the brakes,  just starring death right in the face your on your way to jail which is pretty much straight hell, but do you even care? your empathy is gone,

I grew up in a constant journey for happiness, Always searching for somebody or something to find comfort in throughout the years in which I felt so lonely.  ☯ Its so sad that no one and no thing, ever beat the feeling I felt from the pipe, the bottle, the pills and later on the can.  ☯ All I ever wanted from that hit was a feeling of happiness, but with every hit, I ran farther and farther from t he true happiness I once felt long ago, and closer and closer to the misery of the addiction I came to know so well in the early teen years of my life.  ☯ I beleive us unfortunates, addicted at a young age, are like the moon as it chases the sun in the night sky. We run, chasing happiness not knowing the sad truth, that even though we might catch glimpses of it ever so often, we won’t truly ever grasp it. ☯ We as humans of this beautiful planet, Search and search for something we already have, Happiness sits inside us, waiting for us to find it, constantly sending us

Me and my darling Kiara went on an adventure to the James river on Saturday, we did end up getting lost and finding our way to the train tracks, and we heard a train approaching not to far away so we had to slide down the side of a very steep hill and not more then 3 minutes after the train went by. Luckily it didn't take long to find the trail again because we just went to the river and saw all the footpaths, even though I think some of them were just deer trails. It was a beautiful day to take some time alone and be surrounded by nature and think about life. For me my happy get away is anywhere where there are not a lot of people and that is outside, nature is my sanctuary, its where I am able to reconnect to what is most important to me and to think about things in a clear environment.  with love,  Arianna 

Recently I have been doing a lot of REAL cooking, not just putting something in the microwave or eating cereal, but actually creating a meal. I am really proud of myself though! Because I don't normally cook, but now that I have started I love it! I have made muffins which is a first. They were delicious! Pumpkin Chai Cream Cheese muffins!!! SO GOOD I made a lot of them and they were all gone in a few days! I've also been cooking with LOTS of veggies! and I absolutely love vegetables now! I think broccoli is one of my favorites, especially when cooked with sauces and spices.  I only eat whole wheat pasta which by itself isn't all that yummy but when cooked with all these wonderful vegetables it turns into something magnificent! Honestly I think I would be a great vegetarian because I hardly eat meat that much anyways. I am so glad that I've started cooking these great meals, because I have a wonderful kitchen and why not take advantage of the

     Today I watched a documentary on Netflix called Hungry For Change  which I found very powerful and it sparked a desire for real, true change. Over the last year or so I have been diagnosed with an auto immune disease, which runs in my family, such as Arthritis which my mother has. For me instead of joint pain I have Irritable bowel disease which comes in two forms, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. But for me, we haven't been able to differentiate between the two, so I have undifferentiated IBD. This disease, isn't a very fun disease to have, not that any auto immune diseases are any fun, but to save you from loosing your appetite I will just leave it up for you to imagine. But what causes my symptoms that cause me to have to run to the bathroom, is food. FOOD.      What we put in to our body is very important, and for me, processed sugar, wheat, fat, and salt and obviously fast food, instantly hurts my stomach, and causes pain. But why does food that is in almos
