Imagine reading a book with no way to turn back the page. How carefully and intently would you read it knowing the information you have...

16 years ago I got a new title, Mom. 16 years ago I became the CEO of a company, and no it wasn't tech, and I was not at a Coldplay...

Feelings are just visitors. We, or rather I, need to remember to let those thoughts come and go; for visitors are just that, temporary....

The past seven months have been loud, and by loud I mean busy, which equates to distracted. Hospital visits, surgeries, doctors...

I don't know who I think I am. With that being said, I decided to think my ungrateful children would want to take a trip on an airplane...

After being dormant for nearly a month, I have made the decision to rejoin society. Kind of. I made one of my cherubs join me for my...

So I caved. I said once he left I would never see him again. We both agreed to it in fact. Lie. I like to tell myself a lot of them, and...

I wasn't able to officially say goodbye to my mother in person because it was the height of Covid. Or I guess I could say I could have, but I was paranoid and trying to protect three kids from a monster disease no one understood. Fuck 2020. That haunted me something awful. I recently went to see my partner, my love. Something in my gut said go, NOW. So I did. Got in my car and just drove. After I left him? I got a call and found out he died an hour later. And while I wasn't a

I always thought Bluejays were bad. I always imagined Cardinals as the good ones. The ones that symbolized reincarnation and were meant...

It had become too much. With the kids, their activities, and their commitments; and me being their sole chauffeur, and his, I had to end...

My son confided in me very few of his teammates know his name. They just call him, "The Fast Freshman." So to that note I say: You make...

Dear Dad, 15 years ago I lost a protector, a mentor and a talent that was shared with the world. A man who was humble, happy and full of...

I've been absent for awhile, and for good reason... I have lost many people in my life. A lot are still alive; who ignore me, but that's...

The holidays are tough. They remind you of what you have, and conversely, what you don't have. While I am blessed to have three amazing...

Last year I bought a 20 something foot reindeer inflatable. I don't know what I was thinking; but then again, I never quite do. It was an...

Yeah, no, motherhood did not come with a map. They should have taught that lesson in Lamaze class. Fuck breathing. Listening to a child cry ALL THE TIME? OR A KID THAT WON'T EAT? Motherhood can suck, and serves to be a lesson that is hard in more than ways than one. I find myself counting to ten more than when I was a kid, and certainly more than my kids do. Where are those classes and lessons when you are pregnant? The lamaze class for when you are going to lose your shit be

I have been taking my kiddos, who are not quite "kiddos" anymore, on a death "grip/trip", vacation to Newport, RI every Thanksgiving for...

I grew up with the generation that came from a place that if you saw a TV on a rolling cart you thought that day was going to be an epic day. YASSSSSS. One day that cart rolled in and I ended up watching the Challenger explode in real time. The teacher shut off the TV and we went back to learning; no discussions, just division. Coincidentally, my generation went on to make JOKES about it. Do you know how I know Crista McAcullife had dandruff? They found her head and shoulders

I have no idea why we put up with flagrant disrespect from others. I have come to understand and realize that people are inherently...

I find myself caring all too often about a lot of shit knowing fully well, I shouldn't. But I can't get out my my own way, and sadly, or...
