Why the Worst Thing You Can Be is Age Appropriate

You know you’re doing things right if they cringe or laugh at you. — I’m going to Vegas this summer, and I can’t wait to be the older woman that people ridicule as they’re walking down the strip.

Do You Have Generalized Anxiety Disorder? Here’s How To Tell.

Just so you know, I’m really hoping you don’t. — Know any good exorcists? If so, I’d like your recommendations ASAP.

About Me — Dawn Bevier

A tale of a teacher, learner, and wild child — I was voted “Most Likely to Be Famous” in my senior year of high school. Perhaps it was my penchant for the theater. Maybe it was the kohl eyeliner that rimmed my eyes and the scarlet lipstick that adorned my adolescent lips. Maybe it was just that, even then, teens…
