Of Love and Destruction

June 22, 2011

He calls it a death wish. But I can’t help it.
I stare up into the pelting rain and wish I were swaying like the tops of the trees. I feel the rattle of the thunder reverberate in my chest and swallow the energy of the yellow and purple lightening that dances across [...]

On Getting Things Done

October 4, 2010

It’s easy to fall into bad habits when working from home. There are pitfalls to working at home that some of these habits stem from — the distractions; the lack of accountability; the enticing possibility to never, ever get dressed — but there’s also the fact that, plain and simply put, what works for [...]

I’ve Hit The Wall

September 9, 2010

I’m stuck.
I’ve stopped counting the hours I’ve spent on this book proposal. It’s futile. They’re countless. And now, more than half done, I’ve run into the wall. I hate it. Every word I’ve poured into it with blood, sweat and tears makes my skin crawl. It’s all wrong. [...]

On Just Doing It

August 23, 2010

Our youngest ate a lot of pickles that summer. The big, refrigerated kind that, when eaten by a toddler her age, take up the whole fist. She was eating one then, sitting in her portable booster seat, strapped to the folding chair inside the screen tent that we never did close the sides [...]

Embracing My Superiority

August 13, 2010

In one of the sessions I attended at BlogHer ‘10 last week an audience member took the mic and uttered some of the simplest, yet most profound words I would hear all weekend. I didn’t write that quote down word-for-word so I’ll have to paraphrase here, but it still bears repeating. The topic [...]

Because Women Can’t Think For Themselves

August 10, 2010

I am not against organizations being partisan. Partisanship makes the world turn, even if sometimes in reverse.

What I am opposed to are thinly-veiled attempts to trick women into supporting a cause that, under the [...]

On Mindset, Friendship and Guilt

April 26, 2010

I have a friend, who for the purpose of this post we’ll call Elle, and we have a mutual acquaintance, who for the purpose of this post we’ll call Sam. Elle and Sam are in the same industry. Sam however, is — at least outwardly — more successful. Exponentially so, in fact. [...]

Love Does Things

March 17, 2010

I was talking with a friend the other day about the lives we expected, the lives we desired in an earlier time, and those we lead now. I was marveling at how much some of us change our dreams and aspirations over the years, while others of us have maintained the same standard of [...]

On Compartmentalizing

August 31, 2009

No matter where I blog it seems I always have a bit of an inner struggle with compartmentalization. At the parenting blog it was the fact that I had things to say not having anything even remotely to do with my children. Here it is the fact that this site also house my clips, my [...]

An Update, August 2009

August 30, 2009

It’s official. This blog now has more unfinished drafts than published posts.
Every time I sit down to compose a thought — any thought — something comes up. Someone needs a band-aid, someone else needs a snack, an animal needs to be fed, a phone answered, a door shut, a window opened, a dog told [...]
