The inference is that mothers hold the world together, and Abdul exemplifies that very notion. In Sapphire's The Kid, Abdul is orphaned at age nine after his mother succumbs to the HIV/AIDS virus. It was a concept he didn’t understand at the time, but from that moment forward, his life became a string of one topsy-turvy event after another until, in the end, he was the one encumbered in a hospital bed.  Read more >

I was taking a bath tonight to shave my legs. If, in some twist of fate, my pants have to be ripped off in an emergency during oral surgery tomorrow, I would like for my legs to be clean-shaven.So I was shaving and reading a woman's magazine. A section called for answers to handling "tricky teen situations", which somehow when I first read that, my mind saw "sticky." Anyway. As I was reading the questions, I had my own answers (I have an opinion about everything) and thought I'd share."My 13-year-old wants a Facebook acount. But I don't think he's old enough."Then, no.  Read more >

"Why does life have to be so f*cking difficult?"I said that under my breath while an ice-cream cone dripped in one hand, a cup of diet coke was in the other, and I was trying to open the door to the Xterra.Life at that moment was really f*cking difficult.This live-in-the-moment-kind-of-girl felt like an idiot as soon as the words left my mouth and entered the atmosphere.In the grand scheme of things, life at that moment was a cake walk. I had ice cream. A diet coke. A vehicle. This computer in my purse. A beautiful day.  Read more >

I have an idea, and for me that's not a huge deal. My ideas sometimes feel endless and tiresome. They keep me up all hours of the night, and motivate me through the day. But this idea feels different. I recently returned from an inspiring trip to Denver, Colorado. Inspiring for many reasons, but mainly because I love mountain air and what it does to my head. I was so inspired to live simply, and simply live.  Read more >

About Me: 

I love life, and I have a strange addiction to stress. And Googling random grammar facts and emailing them to my friends.

I also love my Blackberry, my journal that goes everywhere with me, my hyperactive German Shepherd, McDonalds coffee with two creams, maybe (sometimes) sitting shirtless in the sun on the back deck, and embracing the simple moments of life, because, let's face it - some of them aren't so simple.

I'm a newspaper editor, which allows me to live my current life mission to the fullest every day. I'm also married to it right now and subsequently romantically single. It's a lifestyle I've chosen for myself, though one day I do hope to be a wife and mother.
