I’ve wanted to do a writing meme for months now and I finally created one that I can get excited about. I’m not nearly as organized in my time or thinking to participate in weekly writing memes, like Mama Kat’s Pretty Much World Famous Weekly Writing Prompts or the Write on Edge. But given a…
I haven’t been writing lately. I think between my drunken awareness trip to Palm Springs, the wonderfully lovely (and drunkenly) birthday celebrations and the general craziness of summer, I just haven’t dedicated the time to writing. But I’m starting to feel it. The desperate need to write. It’s like when you finally get used to…
I went to Bloggy Boot Camp San Diego this last weekend and I’ll start by saying it was AWESOME. It was super duper worth the money, the connections made are incredible and the three bags of swag alone was worth the price of admission. So if you’re a blogger and it’s coming to a city…
I had an anniversary pass that I’d like to acknowledge. Last year, July 29th to be exact, I started writing (somewhat) regularly on this blog. As I reread Where Have I Been? The answer is right where I started. I’m still officially an unemployed, stay-at-home mom. My kids drive me crazy, my sanity sometimes is…
I forgot to mention one of the coolest and funniest things that has happened to me lately. I’m now a monthly contributor at My Mommy Manual. I literally fell out of my chair when I got the invitation email and then had to stifle some serious laughter when Practical Mommy asked me to write about…
I’m a thinker. I think a lot. I probably think too much. I know that when I start feeling like things are too tough right now, I look for the lesson to learn. My dear friend and teacher, Victoria Castle, wrote in her book Trance of Scarcity, “If struggling were the way to get there,…
Posted For Lola to remember today and everyday until she turns the corner. AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE CHAPTERS 1) I walk down the street. There is a huge hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I’m lost….hopeless. It’s not my fault. It takes forever to get out. 2) I walk down the same street. There is…
You know in movies (or in real life if you’re a romantic…) when you’re in love and you want to sing a silly tune all day… (maybe from a musical that featured Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney or maybe The Beatles’ “Good Day Sunshine”)…yeah, corny love like that. Well, I’m in love with a book. …
Sorry I’ve been a way for a few weeks. Bad behavior, I know, for someone who a) has a burning desire to write because it helps me sort my shit out (and believe me there’s a lot to sort out!) and b) someone starting a blog. My sincere apologies. There’s been a number of things…
Where am I these days? Am I lost? No. Well maybe a little bit. I’m working on finding my way through a storm. Am I okay? Yes, but weary. I need to find my peaceful waters. I am close. I can feel it. So, how do I get there? Writing. I can feel my way…
