Running for the Soul

  This post could have easily been called “Inspirational Runs” or “Running & Crying But in a Totally Good Way.”  Twice last week I went out for a training run ended up having something beyond a runner’s high.

I Just Felt Like Running

Sometimes when I run for long distances or a lot in a concentrated period of time all I can think of is Forrest Gump.  I hear him in my head saying, “I just felt like running.”

The Demi Moore Dilemma

I’ll be chatting on The Motherhood today with Dr. Vivian Diller, the   author of Face It: What Women Really Feel As Their Looks Change.  It’s all about beauty and well being in middle age.    We will talk about the social pressure some women, like Demi Moore and Heather Locklear, who use drugs, plastic surgery and eating [...]

Yesterday, I decided to do the unthinkable.

My Bathroom, My Sanctuary

Modern day motherhood is complicated. Um, scratch that.  Motherhood, whenever it is happening is complicated.  It was never not compilicated.  According to a recent survey conducted by Ivory soap, 80 percent of American moms think motherhood is actually more complicated today than it was 20 years ago.

No way. Not me. Never. Even this year as the clock struck twelve [...]

The Sugar Highs and Lows

The subject of screaming and tantrums has come up before within this blog, especially where TD is concerned.  At first we chalked it up to the Terrible Two’s followed by the Troublesome Three’s, which everyone declared was way worse than anything we had ever witnessed before.  Right.  It seems that the ”F*ck You! Fours” (described quite adequately [...]

My Goody Drawer

I keep things hidden away in my nightstand. Things that no one in my house can have but me. In pretty wrappings, sometimes shiny and glistening, they beckon to me as they sit and wait until just the right moment when I open the draw and pull one out just for my pleasure. It’s candy. [...]
