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. ...

I will never forget.
Yesterday, as I said, I had a tough day. I rebounded, though, primarily because of your supportive notes and comments and messages, so I thank you. I feel blessed. Today, however, is a day that I will never forget. And that because today was one of my best days as a parent; one of the best ...
An hour as a mother.
I was up a lot during the night last night. I don't think I got very much sleep, and for me, that translates into an increase in anxiety. I have been told by my psychiatrist that sleep is healing for the brain, and I notice that it has a profound impact on my mental state. My ...

“And I’ll always remember you like a child, girl.”
Last week, I sold my car; the car that I said I would have and drive forever. Earlier this year I had even decided that it would be the car in which my daughter would learn to drive. I loved my car. I loved that it was recognizable and a little famous around town, because of the pink ...
Let us celebrate.
This morning, I woke up to a pleasant surprise. I got an email from an old high school friend-- Well, really, if I am being honest, she is an old high school friend of my husband's; to me, she was just this incredibly beautiful and cool Senior whom I looked at and admired from afar. Come ...
