Are You Ready with Joanne Molinaro

Will You Marry Me?

"I counted the stones stacked together like rows and rows of broken teeth that encased us inside a cavernous mouth, wondering how many secrets they could tell if one decided to crack them open. How many loves and not-quite-loves had they witnessed? How often had they correctly predicted the outcome of the unions cemented inside a building that had truly tested the definition of "forever"? As I stood there waiting to become a wife, I decided to tell them my own secret, a story I hadn't yet shared with anyone--not even Anthony."
 
Back in Rome, Joanne reflects on her wedding day nearly five years ago, and dreams of a second home in Italy.

The Brutal Cost of the Second Amendment.

Earlier this week, like you, I was horrified to read  yet another headline  about yet another mass murderer armed with yet another AR-15 semi-automatic rifle destroying the lives and families of yet another round of needless victims. A 6-year old boy lost his mother, father, and 3-year old brother. A young mother is currently lying unconscious in a hospital bed. When she wakes up, she will learn that her 8-year old and 11 -year old daughters were killed.
I'm sick of these stupid headlines. I'm sick of the helplessness I feel every time this happens. I'm sick of how quickly politicians move to gaslight what, by now, can only be described as a national epidemic of chronic grief.
Because that is exactly what this is--we are in a state of constant grief. Unlike normal grief, we are never allowed respite from our mourning. Rather,
We are forced to endure 208 mass shootings in less than half a year.
We have been terrorized by the slaughter of 15,038 human beings in less than half a year.
We are being conditioned to normalize the senseless murder of 96 children in less than half a year.
So, WHY is the United States so embarrassingly and FATALLY obsessed with guns?

My Plastic Surgery Story.

"I'm not saying that it's always a bad thing. There are people who view plastic surgery as a tool to make surface level corrections only, like a bandaid over a paper cut, a bit of concealer over a pimple. But as you'll hear, that simply wasn't the case for me. In the end, I discovered that the wounds I was trying to heal were simply too deep to reach--even on the operating table."
