Is life just so tough that it's always going to be a struggle? Is it just reality that to accomplish anything, we have to kick and force our way to the top? I don't think so. I think very often what makes things so hard is when we're trying to do things in some way other than our own. What makes things so hard is trying to follow other people's rules, other people's paths, to get into other people's lives. Life can get easier, and it's not a matter of dropping your goals.

We were kids so our job was limited to rolling the cookie dough into balls, and my favorite part, rolling the little nuggets into a bowl of cinnamon and sugar. Snickerdoodles contain a lot of butter and sugar and other not-so-good-to-eat-tons-of ingredients, but I'm not about to give up my love of making and eating them that easily. I found a non-dairy, healthier recipe that tastes just as good as I remember they did in…
