My Sister Has a Blog

My hilarious younger sister Kayla used to have a Xanga. Then, sadly, she stopped writing in it. Earlier today she informed me that she wanted to get a WordPress blog. And I am happy to inform you that it is officially set up. It is called The Corner Booth. Go check it out!

My First Blogiversary: De-lurk!

This is a de-lurk post, so leave a comment, pretty please!
Well, my friends, it has been exactly a year now since the birth of Hope Road (although it was originally christened with the ridiculously long “there’s beauty in not blending in”). It seriously does not seem like that long since I started writing here! Since [...]

Coming This Week

My posting has been a little sporadic this past week, as you may have noticed. I’d like to write a little more regularly in this coming week. I have a very easy week as far as classes and work goes, so I hope to be able to give you some great content.

Twitter Oops!

Yesterday I tried to change my Twitter updates to protected, and in doing so accidentally denied some of my followers. The updates thing was malfunctioning and I was trying to approve people and suddenly half of my followers were gone. Ah, the tragedy. All this to say - if you’re trying to follow me and [...]

Coming Next Week

One thing I’m hoping to do in the future is write a preview post over the weekend letting you know what the week will hold. Of course, anything is subject to change, based on current events or merely my own whimsy. But I’m looking forward to what’s coming up this next week. So here’s [...]

New and Improved

Welcome to the new and improved, but still familiar version of Hope Road. I’m glad that I’ve been able to make this transition relatively smoothly. I’m slightly worried about having my old site left static, along with certain Google rankings, but I’m confident that my readers are smart enough to know where to find [...]
