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.

where do you get your inspiration?
I read dozens of blogs each week… and I have to say, in big bold letters, WOMEN inspire me. I am fascinated by our individual journeys and how, despite the outer differences, there seems to be a universal connection. How many times have you read something and said, “That’s how I feel?” That, my friends, is [...]
strength, courage and wisdom
If I could create Life: The Soundtrack this song would no doubt be on it. Yesterday I had the honor of sharing my story on Jennie’s blog… a journey that took me 3,000 miles away– but ultimately right back home. Today I got to pick Jennie’s mid-week music snack. I chose a song I played [...]
expressing your passion
This weekend I received the sweetest card from Jennie B in SC, along with some super-cool mix CD’s. Oh, how I love me some Sugarland. The words in her card reminded me of something very important. I featured Jennie on my blog this summer; she said the post gave her an opportunity to “legitimately express” [...]
Chasing pavements

But the other day, my iPod shuffled to Adele’s Chasing Pavements. The gym wasn’t busy, and I sat on the leg press machine [...]

What’s the Worst Thing That Can Happen?
Note to the reader: Moments after I posted this blog entry, where I reference my own fear of flying, I learned of this morning’s plane crash in NY that killed 50 people. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families. This tragedy further illustrates that sometimes things happen we can’t explain– we have all [...]
Should I Stay OR Should I Go?
I’m a big fan of taking leaps of faith. Give me a ledge and you might have to tackle me to keep me from swan diving off the side. (Okay, I’m really holding my nose with a huge inner tube around my waist… but I’m still gonna jump.) I give talks designed to inspire women [...]
