“Friendship is thicker than blood”

This morning, as I drove my daughter to her last day of school for the year, we blasted One of our favorite musicals, Rent. We were on Disk 2. Her favorite. She is partial to the middle tracks, but today I thought we should listen to the beginning. We listened to the beautiful chorus of "Seasons of Love" ...

The Power of Friendship.

In my introductory post on this new site, I mentioned that I am currently working on a book. If you check out my about me page, you will see that I have a literary agent who is working to shop my book to publishers. I wrote the original proposal back in May; I was in a different ...

Newest member.

This week we experienced a momentous day in the world of our tribe: My girl got to meet our newest member. Who is this new, beloved boy, you ask? Well, I will tell you. *** In my Junior year of High School I became best friends with a girl with the biggest smile and an even bigger heart. She has ...

The Circle of Life

At the moment, my daughter is very into a few things; in particular: Her cute camp counselor, puzzles and The Lion King. And I have to say, there are only so many times that you can hear "Circle of Life" without reflecting on it's meaning just a bit. It's the Circle of Life And it moves us all. ...

In College

I have written before about my time college; how my experience was certainly not traditional, but how it was oh so very meaningful. Am I happy that I chose to go to Barcelona at the age of 19? Of course. Had I not taken the untraditional college path, I would not have met my twin. ...

Do you know how rare that is?" -Ann Brashares, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" I am blessed to have "friends" who are actually my family. I have written countless times about how #FriendshipIsThickerThanBlood and about the power of ...

A handful of things

1. I had my MRI/MRA yesterday. It was less scary than I had expected (though I don't yet know the results because in order to view the disk with my images I would need a PC and also probably a medical degree). However... As we headed back for my test, my heart racing, my stomach turning, ...

Things that made my heart burst yesterday:

The incredibly touching comments that I received on my emotional day post on Facebook. The launch of the new website for Pearl Communications, my PR firm. It was actually the owner who suggested that I use Brand Revive and then ended up hiring them herself, with brilliant results. A great phonecall with my friend who told me ...

Letting it go.

This was sent to me yesterday by a dear friend. I needed it. I then sent it to another dear friend. She needed it. Every day, we all carry things with us; hopes, fears, ideas, identities... Some of these things lift us up. Some of my labels I wear proudly: Wife, mother, friend, daughter, grand-daughter, teacher, twin, writer, confidant, ...

Forever and Always, You’ve got my love to lean on darling(s).

I came across this video today and I thought to myself, "I have to share this with her, and her, and her and her and her" and I wanted to send it to my bestest besties and then I figured they deserved a public shout-out, so this is for you, my loves. You know who ...
