Talking Story: The Art of Storytelling

June 16, 2021 By Caroline Peterson 2 Comments

I used to perform commercials in the mirror as a kid. Usually during my bedtime routine and usually to the annoyance of one of my parents. Perhaps as an act to avoid bedtime? Who? Me? Who knows.  “Brushing your teeth can help make them sparkly. Plus, your dentist will be happy with you.” “Did you […]

Mean Doesn’t Win.

May 17, 2021 By Caroline Peterson Leave a Comment

“All I ask is one thing, and I’m asking this particularly of young people that watch: Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record, it’s my least favorite quality — it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard […]

I Will No Longer Bond over Hating Our Bodies.

April 25, 2021 By Caroline Peterson 3 Comments

February 15, 2021 By Caroline Peterson Leave a Comment

Narrator: We cut to the middle of the night where we find Caroline in the midst of a blissfully wonderful sleep. Windows open. Husband not snoring. Their 14-pound ginger cat nuzzled up beside her. It’s as if nothing could awaken this sleeping goddess…  <Caroline suddenly sits straight up> Caroline: Shit. I should set a reminder […]

A Battle Cry: 2020 Hasn’t Crushed Us.

December 20, 2020 By Caroline Peterson 4 Comments

Don’t get me wrong, 2020 has pummeled us.  2020 has held my head under water, yanked it back out by my hair and allowed me just enough air to catch my breath, right before shoving me back under again.  But, I won’t let it take me down. I’m a formidable contender, you know?  Whatever fight […]
