A little short story… On Monday morning while we were in the midst of our get-ready-for-school routine, Blu announced that she couldn’t “find her school shoes … ANYWHERE.” (Her school shoes are super special, close-toed, sparkle sneakers, that we had to order because they are extra wide and don’t squish her feet – she has her daddy’s feet). She recruited me for help. I scoured the house. I looked […] Read More

I am not ashamed of having had an abortion. No one else should be ashamed either. In my case, I chose the best, worst-choice in a sea of horrible choices. Does it make me sad? Yes. Do I mourn? Yes. Did I make the correct decision? Yes. Abortion is a chapter in my story, but not my whole story. It does not define my worth or scorch my character. And, […] Read More

We’re about to go to Disneyland! I know, right? There are only two reactions I receive when I share that news. I either get … “OMG!” in a tone that makes clear Disneyland is the last place on earth the person I’m speaking to would want to be. Or … “OMG!!! That is AWESOME!!!” Our kids get to pick between having a birthday party with friends or doing something as […] Read More
I recently received an email from an Indian woman living outside Washington DC. She discovered my book by chance one morning while waiting with another mom at the school bus stop. The other mom wanted her opinion on whether Bangles, Bindis and Babies would be a good book to include in a wedding shower gift basket for a couple about to embark on a cross cultural marriage. She tells me […] Read More
Can we get a dog? Hells to the no … maybe … probably …. okay … yes. It’s a dog! It’s going to be a dog. We aren’t exactly sure what type of dog we are going to get yet, but we are aiming for a “career change” dog. If you aren’t hip to the lingo, a career change dog is a dog that has the temperament to become […] Read More
