That shirt is incredible. I had not seen that comment before.

If only my site shrunk on phones. :-)

Congratulations on joining Chartbeat! It sounds like a great opportunity with a really cool company. Can’t wait to see the work you’ll do with them – the design for the Chartbeat site is completely 100% awesome. Love it!

“Remember those glow in the dark stars you’d put on your ceiling as a kid?” As a kid? I have them on my wall now! (They’re pastel coloured and have glitter on them so they look nice in the day, as well. ;) ) I also ordered this shirt! It’s so cute! Now me and my star-covered walls can match, I guess.

If this were a radio show, I’d say “Long time listener, first time caller.” As a fellow female web designer, I always love finding and following women in the industry that do amazing work and contribute to the field (like yourself!) — love your work and your cat!

That being said, I enjoyed this article because travel horror stories, at the end of the day, are the best. On a long Europe trip with my now-husband and our 2 friends, we went to Belgium on a whim. We thought, “We don’t need a hotel in Brussels…we’ll figure it out later.” Well, we couldn’t find a hotel for the one night we were there and ended up trying to sleep in this big beautiful park. Only once 2am hit, the park came to life with prostitutes and drug addicts stirring in the bushes, igniting lighters. This scared the crap out of us and we ended up walking the streets all night. Kind of miserable at the time, but one of my favorite memories now because we got to see the sun rise and the city come to life in the morning.

And sorry about the Mona Lisa, she is rather underwhelming. ;)

I don’t agree at all that a cat is ‘just a pet’. For those who cherish them, a cat is like a child and the only thing we can do in bad times is to be there for them. And when the time comes when we have to make that hard decision our hearts break and nothing will be the same.

I too am a freelancer that works from home and has cats. Unfortunately I did have this same experience and it’s really hard.

I hope you can find a way to go through it the best you can without any regrets. It puts things in perspective, about live, our suffering and the suffering of those we love, about hope and what things are important in life.

“The quote is by Andy Rooney, who Jason reminded me was unfortunately a sometimes bigot, but I still like the sentiment.”

In my opinion, it’s ridiculous to make a comment like this. We all struggle with parts of our character that we do not like – it does not make us a bad person, or someone who cannot contribute positively to the world around us.
