On April 15th, 2013, when twin bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon, a pit of fear and worry ached in my stomach, reminding me of how vulnerable my daughter Madison, a Read more...
I hoped and wished this day would never come. But it did. And it brought with it another phase of parenting. It’s the phase where one of my kids is no longer naïve. It’s the phase where their childhood innocence is a thing of the past. It’s the phase just before the ... Read more...
Yikes! Another possible bad habit is already starting to brew in my life all because of this article, This Bad Habit Could Make You Sick that I read on Read more...
I’m a creative person who likes to think outside the box. Yet, in the publishing world there are so many boxes without windows and rules you need to follow inside the box. And then on top of it, publishers and literary agents won’t give you the time or day un ... Read more...
