February 6, 2013 Now that the year has been going for over a month, I wonder where the state of resolutions are now for the majority of people. I usually don’t make them. I guess I am too lazy, but I also don’t see the New Year as much different as the last year. Again, I am lazy on this issue, but this year, or last year, I decided to do it. I was going to make a resolution.
February 1, 2013 I am a writer. And today I have writer's block. As you might imagine, that happens from time to time. I've learned over the years, when my brain freezes up and I can't think of an idea or a topic or even a simple line to get me going, it's best to just start writing what I'm thinking... even if it's not what I intended, or even wanted, to write about.
January 30, 2013 With Valentine’s Day approaching, I always think in my mind what I would like to happen. I think most women do. We have been trained by our moms, friends, V Day cards, magazines, commercials and movies to all think what real romance is.
January 29, 2013 Every new parent has an idealistic view of what their child will one day become: a doctor, a lawyer, a star athlete. We picture our children growing up and having careers, getting married, and having children of their own. The day that I sat in the pediatric specialist’s office with my son (then 2 ½) and heard the word Autism, all of those goals and dreams for my child flooded my mind.
January 23, 2013 I had a perfect little life, great husband, a wonderful daughter who played in orchestra and was really great at it, a smart, wonderful son, nice apt, nice car, great job. Yeah it was a perfect life for me. And then one day I received a phone call.
