by Karolyn Hart
 It might seem odd to find an article written about being happily unmarried by a woman who has been married for over a decade and is actually quite happily married.  It all started with some well-meaning comments from different people in my life that I really should start having babies soon!  They continued [...]

The Silly Thing about Racism

by Karolyn Hart
From the first time I became aware of the fact that people made a big deal about each other’s “race” I thought it was silly.  My parents, god bless them, never made judgemental comments about anyone.  I mean never. Not  even when we had the most annoying guests over to our  home. As [...]
