My co-worker and friend, Dana, ordered Warby Parker glasses and needs help deciding which ones to keep. Just like when I receive Stitch Fixes, I want to harness the power of the Internet to help her. Without farther ado ... which pair should she keep? Any feedback is appreciated!

I still remember the first nutrition lesson that Rachel taught me. In college, she needed volunteers for a study on calorie perception. I measured different sizes of cereal (i.e. 1 cup) and what I would normally pour for a normal breakfast. I sadly learned that I was WAY off in my measurements, and that lesson …

Why I’m supporting #for30more
It started with a cough. Not a normal cough, but a deeper, I-can't-catch-my-breath kind of cough. That was it—she couldn't catch her breath. It was escaping her. When I met Katharine, I didn't know that she was sick. I didn't know that she's battling a disease that, based on statistics, will likely take her life. …

Here are my 2013 goals with assessments of how I did. (Grab a snack because this is a long list.) CAREER Freelance: Continue to write …
