I hate hate hate when bad things happen to good people. I really try to see the good in this world, and I usually do, but when I hear about a human being inflicting a senseless crime on another, it temporarily crushes my whole belief in humanity. I will never stop being who I am and will never stop seeing beauty in the human spirit, but it can get hard sometimes, especially when hearing about heinous crimes, wars, and accidents.

When I look at my 8-month old nephew sometimes, his innocence amazes me, and I want to protect him from everything bad. I love him so much that it nearly takes my breath away, and I can't help but wonder: how can the world be so good, yet so bad at the same time?

Hi Jodi, I know what you mean. I guess you have to really focus on the good and pray that your family is never harmed or affected by the bad. I remember a movie that came out a long time ago (can't remember the name), but the main character was asked if mankind was worth saving. You have to believe that we are.

Treat your body like the temple it is.

I'm a happy and healthy 29-year old who values her relationships with friends and family. I ADORE dogs and am counting down the days until Dan and I get one. I'm pretty obsessed with nutrition (I'll talk your ear off any day about the wonders of juicing) and am also determined to get into the shape of my life. My new love? Running!
