dcwomenkickingass:

Seven Resolutions for Lent
1. Go to Morning Prayer unless I am throwing up and dying. Over spring break, find a morning prayer or keep the Office on my own.

Supergirl's Apartment
thismomentsforwomenincomics:

She’s creative and a bit introverted! She loves her cat! I had one of those moments that happen in real life where you see someone from across the room and fall for them. I fell in love...
