Celebrating Me. Celebrating You.
{photo courtesy of The Road Theatre} This is the last time I was on the stage. More than four years, 20 pounds and two kids ago. This Sunday I will set foot on the boards for the first time since then, and I am terrified. Being on stage used to be like breathing. Stage fright? [...]
This week we asked you to respond to the prompt “When I look in the mirror…” I have been thinking about this prompt for days. DAYS. Because I could probably write an entire book just from this one prompt. (Don’t worry, I am not going to do that here.) But something happened to help me [...]
Source: writeclickscrapbook.com via Robin on Pinterest I came across this quote on Pinterest not long after I started blogging. As is often the case, especially with something new, I wondered whether I was good enough. Was I a good enough writer? Could I do this whole blogging thing? Seeing this quote was a good [...]
I have been MIA. The last blog post I wrote was thirty days ago. I had just celebrated my first blogversary, had a series of guest posts lined up, and was going on a short vacation with my daughter for her spring break. We went to Paris and then Courchevel for skiing. I had an [...]
I lie about my age. All the time. I’m not sure when it started…maybe when all my dreams didn’t come true and I realized I am perhaps a little embarrassed that I haven’t accomplished what I wanted to do. Maybe it was when I fell in love with, and married, a man who is younger [...]
I rise in the darkness, the stars and early commuters my only companions on the road. If I go now, I can be done before the busy day begins. The building is already starting to come alive as I walk through it. Through large glass doors, past a coffee shop and down an unassuming hallway [...]
When my daughter was three years old, I found out that my husband (the love of my life, who was as perfect as a man could ever be in my eyes) was cheating on me. With more than one woman. It shook the foundations of my world, shattered my hopes and dreams, and altered the [...]
“The greatest love of all, is happening to me. Learning to LOVE YOURSELF, it is the greatest love of all.” –W. Houston Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day fast approaching. Cards, flowers and chocolates will be gobbled up and given to show our friends, families and lovers how much we care about them. [...]
I totally believe certain messages appear when we need them to appear, if only we pay attention. Some of the ones I’ve received have come in emails, on signs, and random tweets I see as I scroll past. A lot of them cross my path on Pinterest. And some of them show up on Facebook. [...]
I was never one to take risks. In fact, I avoided it as much as one would avoid stepping on a pile of shit. Strictly when necessary. This particular trait—not for lack of wanting—was what kept me pretty straitlaced during my teenage and early adult years. Growing up, I was also shy and terribly insecure. [...]
