Recently, I read a post on Becca’s blog that got me thinking about something I wrote two years ago, about our natural born gifts and how we use them in our daily lives. In continuing celebration of my blogiversary I decide to post it again. From April 14, 2008: I spent the weekend doing taxes, [...]

it’s my blogiversary
Two years ago I started a blog. And as I wrote each post, I felt myself come alive. At first, I ignored this feeling and criticized myself for spending time on something that wasn’t making money or moving my professional life forward. I told myself I was procrastinating… using the blog to distract myself from [...]
clearly I’ve hit a nerve
For as long as I’ve been blogging (coming up on two years) I have never written something that has generated 50+ comments. That is, until recently, when one of the essays I wrote for Hybrid Mom was posted on the front page of the parenting section of Shine.
a little sunshine for your weekend
Whenever something is bothering me, just saying it out loud takes an enormous weight off my shoulders. We tell children to “use their words” and for adults, it’s really no different. We have complex emotions, but when we take the time to articulate our feelings, the negative energy we’ve been holding inside begins to dissipate. [...]
just keeping it real
I live and think in metaphors. This blog is about a personal transformation that took place over a period of years— where I shed the layers of my professional identity and in the process discovered (or rediscovered) myself. I’m realizing this is an ongoing process. I continue to strip away old beliefs and habits that [...]
writing to heal
I have this habit of writing things and forgetting I wrote them. This morning, I picked up the journal that sits at my bedside table and started flipping through the pages. My first reaction was, I wrote that? When did I write that? I’m always impressed by my stream-of-consciousness writing… it’s full of insight. The [...]
how do you define success?
At 35, I think I’ve finally earned the right to call myself a “grown-up.” At least it’s taken me this long to feel like one. And there are days I still have my doubts. I spent my 20′s trying to figure out what success really meant to me… how it looked, how it felt, what [...]
back to basics
I haven’t forgotten I owe you an update on MyMeWriMo. I’m not attempting to tease you. There will be no grand reveal: Surprise! I wrote a whole book in one month, and I’m searching for an agent now! Not. But I did make progress and have some interesting revelations to share. I’ll get to that later this [...]
i still wear MAC
Recently I hosted the Charleston Holiday Parade for our local cable station, Comcast C2. It’s something I’ve done for the past four years and I really enjoy it. This year, as I dig deeper into my writing about a major life change that resulted in leaving the TV business… I’ve become well aware of the [...]
secret side revealed
Today, I’m honored to be featured over at The Sassy Steel Magnolia. My assignment: talk about a time when one of my secret sides revealed itself… how it happened and how I came to terms with it. Last week, I declared my commitment to writing my story. Today, I take you on the road, to the time [...]
