In the past few weeks, I have read two BlogHer headlines that have so entirely frustrated me that I haven't really known what to do about it. I've tried appealing to the author by attempting to shed light on other areas of the issue, sharing my personal stories, etc. One published my comment to their page, yet didn't respond to it. And the other didn't publish my comment at all, let alone respond. So I've been left shaking my head and wondering:"Why does being White make me a bad person?"  Read more >

Today, I watched a video that I will never forget. Something that resonated so deeply within me, that shook me to the core of my being. As I watched and learned of the horrors being committed against children, I looked at my own son. What if he lived in Uganda? What if he had been snatched ruthlessly from me and made into a child soldier? A soldier that would be forced to come back and kill me. To be forced to mutilate other people's faces, to rape girls, to live in fear of being killed himself one day.   Read more >

I don't even know where to begin really. To simply say I had a rough childhood would be an understatement. To go into explicit detail would take too long and expel too much emotional energy. Also, I'm not sure that I can really write it all out yet. I've started. I've sat here for the past two weeks staring at this screen with words brimming over. Words crowding the page, gathering like dirty laundry on my bed and floor, covering the walls, hanging from the ceiling. All of these words which translate into all of these memories.   Read more >

 It happened. The thing that I have wanted for years. My best friend told me she was moving to the state I live in. That we would finally live in the same zip code. Even better, she asked to stay with me for a few months until she got on her feet out here. I couldn't believe my luck! It was a dream come true..for the first week. Then things went terribly wrong. But maybe I should start from the beginning.  Read more >
