When I read comments about Harry and Meghan, I often notice how quickly people dismiss their experiences. Some claim that the royal family has not said anything against them directly, so the couple should not feel attacked. But from my perspective, that argument does not capture the bigger picture. The truth is the royal family… Continue reading Why I Believe Harry and Meghan Face Unfair Criticism

At the time, I didn’t pay much attention to her character. Like many others, I was more caught up in the world of Bella, Jacob, and Alice.

But life has a funny way of revealing people’s true beauty over time….
