Featured Author: Jessica Fenton It’s dawn, and the sun is finally blessing me with its presence.

But since I’m writing (and you’re reading) this blog, I’m assuming that didn’t happen. Which is no big shock to most of us, especially the Mayans. In the Western World, we…

I Crossed the Red Sea. Kind of

Posted on April 13, 2012 by emilyjanuary | 2 Comments

Featured Writer: Emily January Petersen Mexico makes me sick. Don’t get me wrong. I love the climate, the people, the food, and the language. But every time we have visited, I end up with nausea and stomach problems. I suppose that’s a hazard of travel to any country or a result of my weak constitution. The first time we visited…
