Sunday night at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, eight artists came together for the North Carolina Songwriters in the Round, hosted by Jason Adamo. If you’ve never been to a songwriter’s round (it was our first), the format was pretty cool. Divided into two sets, with four artists in each one, the performers took turns playing their own music, beginning each song with a story that connected the audience with the inspiration and meaning.

Top 4 Questions Asked by New Puppy Owners

Having a puppy is a special, but usually rare event in most people’s lives and because of that, it is easy to forget how much work they can be. Puppies conjure a unique mixture of emotions that range from total delight to abject exasperation, all while simply being themselves. I’ve had the privilege to work with numerous families and their puppies, and over time, I’ve noticed a trend in common questions or concerns when people call me for help. Here are the top 4.

Have You Ever Wanted to Own an AirBNB? Q & A with Local Owner, Lauren Connelly
Have You Ever Wanted to Own an AirBNB? Q & A with Local Owner, Lauren Connelly

Growing up, I always loved staying in hotels when going on vacation. I enjoyed the novelty of visiting new places and any change of scenery I could experience. About a decade ago, I began to stay in Airbnbs instead of hotels thanks to the privacy and one-of-a-kind aspect they offer. Eventually, I became interested in hosting my own Airbnbs, mainly because I love to decorate and provide great experiences for people. In 2019, I became a realtor and took a course that taught me how to become a short-term rental host.

The Persistent Dog
The Persistent Dog

If you look up the word “dogged”…you will see its very definition is “Unrelenting Persistence.” Some of you are undoubtedly saying with a sigh… “Yep, that is my dog”. And here is the irony in that…we humans purposely bred for heightened levels of that very trait…persistence…for hundreds if not thousands of years. But first let’s go to where it came from, the wolf.

Life After Loss: A Puzzling Future
Life After Loss: A Puzzling Future

The other day, I was asked to share an unanticipated aspect of losing a parent, “something they never tell you.” The subject hit me odd at first. There’s no doubt that endless volumes have been written on losing a loved one. Most of what has been covered for millennia, is about dealing with the emotions of hurt, anger, sadness, fear, depression, anxiety - along with hope, love, and letting go.
