Smile, Sunshine!




I'm a firm believer that empowered women,
empower women.
Huckleberry Row celebrates not just women, 
but all those who empower others.
So here's the deal...
This is a safe place to share your thoughts, 
experiences and feelings with others. 
Please. Be nice.
The world is full of enough hatred; 
negativity here will not be tolerated.
Share what you like.
Positivity breeds happiness.
So smile, Sunshine.
You are worth it!

Missing the Point?

SPOILER ALERT : This article may reveal a brief amount of content, context or storyline found in the music video: Someone I Used to Know . If you follow country music, you may have heard that the Zac Brown Band recently released what some are calling an "intense" music video to accompany his new single, Someone I Used to Know . The "intensity" that has folks all hot and bothered is an adult scene that opens the video. The commentary from folks online says they can't understand the point of a sex scene in an otherwise amazing video and therefore, most will not share it with others. Here are the stats: Video length = 4 minutes 35 seconds "Sex scene" = 3 seconds I'm not here to justify, make up your own mind. That's what art is about.  Just be an adult, listen to the message Zac Brown is sending out, which he also explains at the end of the video. Sometimes, in order to break the stigma, you need to get people's attention.

Support Our Troops Paracord Bracelets {New Product}

It's not too often that I get face time with my son Christopher to confer about the 550 Paracord bracelets that are available in my  Wild Apple Design  shop. He's a busy kid, with Boy Scouts, baseball, trap shooting, and his 4.0 GPA {proud mom!}. Since he makes the paracord bracelets, it's important that the two of us talk about new ideas, color combinations, new braiding techniques, etc. every once in a while. So, today was a bonus ~ My son and I had some good brainstorming on the paracord bracelets, AND you'll also get the pleasure of viewing of his right forearm in the photos below since he also served as my MODEL today! For those of you who aren't aware, we are a military family. My husband joined the Army when he was 17, was a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, and is also an Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran. In fact, my husband just finished his final drill weekend with the Minnesota National Guard three weeks ago. These paracord bracelets are m

Shine the Light. End the Stigma

For Everyone Who Keeps Asking "What's Wrong?" I’m sorry. I know those two words seem so small, and they are. They are nothing more than seven simple letters, but I don’t know where else to start. So I’ll start with:  I’m sorry. There are things I’m not sorry for, things I can’t be sorry for. I’m not sorry for my illnesses. They are beyond my control. Over the decades, I’ve learned I do have complete control over certain things in my life: my calendar, my choice of events to attend, and who is included in my inner circle. To those of you who (hopefully) never have to personally deal with physical struggles such as fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, and/or mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder – sincere blessings to you. Chances are, you don’t have to look very far to find someone close to you who struggles daily with some kind of chronic condition. When we don’t talk about these things, we contribut
