Thank You To My Mom Village

Mother’s Day is bittersweet for me. I lost my mom to ovarian cancer in 2007 when I had three small girls. The oldest was six and had just started Kindergarten, the youngest still a baby. In the final weeks of my mother’s life, my husband, Larry, asked what I needed, and I said, “I can’t […]

Celebrating the Rocks in My Life for Valentine’s Day: My Besties

Not everyone’s idea of a perfect valentine involves a guy. And at this point, I have as many friends who are divorced as are married.

Was My Life Really Perfect Behind a Cheesecloth? Well, yes.

You know how they say some people walk around and the “Rain doesn’t wet them and the Sun doesn’t burn them?” Well, I lived that life. For quite awhile too. I looked in the mirror and believed I was aging gracefully–better than gracefully for that matter. And my girlfriends, well–one was more attractive than the next. […]
