By HEATHER CATHLEEN COX Staff Writer Reporter@sbnewspaper.com I read the comments left on the San Benito News website. And some are brutal.

HEATHER HOPES: Mistreated and Merciful
By HEATHER CATHLEEN COX Staff Writer Reporter@sbnewspaper.com Good afternoon, Ms. Cox. Love your stories. I would like your advice on resisting the temptation to lash out at people who wrong you in some way. Much of that occurs in the Valley, so much that it’s become a near everyday occurrence.

HEATHER HOPES: Secret Sweeper
By HEATHER CATHLEEN COX HeatherCathleenCox@gmail.com Autumn is an enchanting season. My favorite, if I had to pick one of the four.

HEATHER HOPES: Complete-ly Single
By HEATHER CATHLEEN COX Special to the NEWS HeatherCathleenCox@gmail.com I’m guilty. I’ve bought into the hype that is Godly singleness, which essentially teaches that single women are actually ladies in waiting for the right man. I think I even liked a Facebook page about “Waiting for my Boaz.” Sigh. Drilling the fantasy: I just need …

HEATHER HOPES: The Opportunity of a Lifetime
By HEATHER CATHLEEN COX Special to the NEWS People are insatiable. You can provide a hungry person with the money to purchase food today, but tomorrow, the person will be hungry again.

HEATHER HOPES: Checks and Balances
By HEATHER CATHLEEN COX Special to the NEWS heathercathleencox@gmail.com In order to apply for a job, a loan, an education—even to belong to a religious institution—we’re given forms with checkboxes, and we’re told to check the box containing the preconceived label with which we “best identify,” with regard to: ethnicity; religious practice; political involvement; educational …
