That’s what the states give when they offer tax deductions or credits for contributions to Section 529 college savings accounts (the name given by Congress in honor of section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code). The state can also waive fees on its own account, further reducing costs. But here are some key questions: Do all states have this opportunity?…

Below is a long blog post about 2016, but it’s something that needs to be said. This year has been the hardest one of my life so far and I have really struggled with depression this year on top of everything else going on in the world around me. It started last November when Donald Trump won election as US president and then escalated into this year where we also had Brexit, terrorist attacks like Nice & London Bridge happening all over Europe, a mass shooting at Pulse nightclub which was targeted towards people who are LGBTQ+ (and just generally hateful acts against minorities) along with a lot more racism being seen everywhere.…

Below is a long blog post about 12 different strategies to help you improve your sleep. Sleeping well has never been more important, and here’s why: Your body repairs itself while asleep (aka “restorative” or “deep” sleep). The way we feel each day depends heavily on the quality of our last night’s rest. That includes how much energy we have for workouts and even whether we gain weight over time!

Below is a long blog post about 2015. The year that was, and isn’t over yet! I have not managed to write up the last few days of December and early January in my journal so you will just have to live with it being written down here instead……. I started off by having one of those New Year’s Eve dinners out at our local pub where they do an excellent buffet on these occasions - we had chicken pie for starters (one each), mushrooms and peas followed by fish fingers & chips, Yorkshire pudding, baked potatoes etc.…

Below is a long blog post about 2013. It was written on New Year’s Day, but I didn’t want to publish it until now because the beginning of January has been so busy!

Below is a long blog post about 2015, which I think might be helpful to people. It’s been two years since my last “year in review” blog posts (here and here).

It’s pretty heavy reading, so if you don’t have time to read it now (I know I didn’t), please consider sharing this with someone who may be going through similar circumstances and let them know that they are not alone. It was on December 3rd when my friend called me for what she thought would just be another normal phone call between two friends catching up.…

Below is a long blog post about 12 things that I think are wrong with the current state of the web. You can skip to the end if you want and read my proposed solutions, but it’s worth reading because this problem has been on my mind for months now (I have been thinking about this since at least April) so I really need some feedback from other people who are passionate about the web as well!…
