Who We Are
When we aren't pulling each other's hair out over what to post and when, we are simply two sisters who are trying to find the humor and lessons in healing from the wounds of life by pointing their compass to all points whole - spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally – and hoping to offer guideposts for others along the way. We have several tabs that you can peruse such as The Daily Sweat, Sowing My Wild Oats, Freeing Sisyphus, Pointing the Compass and AdvoCare.
As you may have read in our posts, we have two other sisters as well. We have coerced the middle sister to offer a medical advice column (she is an Internist). We believe women's health is an important, hot topic and her contribution will be an essential part of allpointswhole. And besides, we couldn't leave out the middle child-that would be way too stereotypical. And our younger, teenage sister will chime in as well with fashion tips and pop-culture highlights. .

Katie Wright
Karin told me that I should write my biography, but I find it hard to write about myself. What I would rather write about would be what I was thinking as I sadly watched the credits roll at the end of the last Harry Potter.
“What will I obsess over next?!?!” That probably tells you more about my sisters and me than any other biographical detail. We have our obsessions. So I prefer to have obsessions for each category of my life.
Music- Zac Brown, Katy Perry, and anything Glee
TV Show- Teen Wolf, Pretty Little Liars, and NCIS
Authors- Rick Riordan and Mary Downing Hahn
Clothes Lines- DELiA*s and American Eagle
Sports Team- Alabama (Roll Tide)
Activities- Acting, singing, running, dance, and playing softball
Movie- was Harry Potter :’(
As you can see, I wil be blogging about allt hings pop culture i.e. movie reviews, music reviews, what its like to be a teenager in today's society, etc
Now, that was easier than I thought it would be. I just described my fave things without freaking out. But I forgot to include things about me, such as my name!
Well, my name is Katie, I’m 13 years old, and I live in the heart of the south: Georgia. Living so far away from family means that I don’t always get to see them. So, I spend most of my time running around town, whether that means I’m hanging out with friends at the movie or hurrying to get a quick bite before piano. But before piano or food, I go to school. I will be going into the 8th grade this year. I’m at the top of the food chain this year, eke!
At my school I participate in chorus, drama club, and track. Because, as you know, those are all my obsessions.
Well that’s the life of a Southern girl, and that’s the life of me - Katie.
