What I Learned in High School (that is, when my daughters attended)
May 31st, 201102:47 PM ETThe day my daughter entered high school, it dawned on me that I had entered a new life. My little princess had turned into someone else. In fact, I was convinced an alien had indeed entered my child.

Respect! “I’m Quite Certain I’ve Earned It!
May 24th, 201111:02 PM ETRespect comes in many forms and is given in many ways. There's respect for family, authority, government, spouse, colleagues, talent. But I've noticed that we as a society—and as a world—have lost this aspect of ourselves. However, the respect I see lacking the most and what really concerns me is respect of self. People have lost respect for t... -
"Take my wife, please!"

May 11th, 201109:05 AM ETAll your kids live in the same house, follow the same rules, and probably follow a similar schedule (unless they're spread far apart in age).

Just living with those birds assures you they're very different, and that's because ... -

Confession: I Was a Working Mom
May 06th, 201112:19 PM ETI was a working mom.... That sounds like a confession, doesn't it? You know, the one that you convey when you let go of pride, gaining the courage to get in front of the group of similar recovering personalities. In some ways, it probably is.

May 03rd, 201109:21 AM ETOne of the fortunate fringe benefits of having my first novel published has been the opportunity to meet aspiring writers. It usually comes after a book signing or a speaking engagement, and the conversation generally starts something like this, "You know, I've always wanted to write a book myself."

The Supermarket and the Church
May 02nd, 201110:23 AM ETThe supermarket: There's a supermarket in my neighborhood. It's got a great location on a block that everyone has to drive past.
