So, a couple weekends ago, my daughter was very sad about something. She is so much like me that it is almost irritating, because I constantly asked her what was wrong and she would say “nothing”, even though her face clearly was singing a different tune. I didn’t want to badger her; but I needed…

Happy Birthday.
My child, Please forgive me, for I may not always do my best by you, but I would give my life for yours at a moments notice. I may not always know the rhythm of your existence, but I will dance beside you anyway. My timing may be skewed; when you need me I may…
Big Girl Moves!
When you have children, you never know what to cherish; what moments to etch into your memory, what silly things to photograph or put on video, or what things you should never take for granted. As parents, we try to make everything a lasting moment, but sometimes that’s not possible. Today, I had a brief…
Take On Life’s Responsibilities One Moment at a Time
We all do this; we tend to believe we have eyes in the backs of our heads, multiple arms and legs, superpowers, the ability to correct the past, right all the wrongs and predict the future all at one time. We want to be able to change the world for the ones we love when…
Sometimes We All Need a Break, Even Your Kid!
Despite what others may think, it is perfectly normal for you and your children to want some time apart from one another. Just like any other relationship, kids get sick of their parents, and parents get sick of always being around their children. I believe this is why we take advantage of the opportunities when…

Jokingly, we always tell them a number of different answers: “I don’t know” “Soon” “When you start helping…
So, I’m 30; Now What??
Now that I’m officially “in my 30’s” I have felt a very blatant and noticeable shift in my perspective and energy. I feel the strong desire to make some hard decisions about my life and where it’s going. I’m not sure if it’s just the aura of the new age; however, I am feeling my…
A Look Beyond the Titles
Mother. Wife. Supervisor. Employee. Provider. There are so many times when women who fall into these categories are defined by these words. We are characterized, classified and described with these words and at times, our identity and worth is sometimes only valued based on these things. For five years, I have had the pleausre of…
A Lesson Learned
What do you take from the experiences life brings you? Do you take them as what they are and move on, or do you search for the lesson in those experiences? Life is full of countless lessons; some come from good experiences and some come from bad. I’d like to believe that a lot of…
Striving to be Better for Those Who Look up to Me
Q: Do I see myself as successful? I don’t really define success by the way others view my accomplishments; but more-so how I feel about what I have accomplished. At the beginning of this year, I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish. I made promises to myself about the type of woman…
