Lately I haven't run many guest posts. There's no reason for this--it's more the fact my subject matter runs the personal development/parenthood spectrum and it's rare a guest post fits. Ben reached out right after school started and the morning after the Child & I attempted to create a hummus-concoction she could bring for lunch the next day. Our hummus was a mess. Ben saved the ...

A New Normal (guest post).
Around this time last year, I was scouring the internet for answers. I wanted to know how and when a woman could get back to lifting weights after a bilateral mastectomy. Because this was going to be me very soon. I was in darn good shape for a fifty-year-old woman - eight unassisted pull ups and plenty more pushups. A passionate lifter for close to 20 years, I knew I had to have this ... Continue Reading
Choices are for children…or at least MY kid (guest post)
My husband and I agree on most things, so it came as no surprise that we'd agree to raise our kid in an information-rich environment. Our thought was to create a confident decision maker who approached the world with an open mind. It never occurred to me this was weird--likely because I tend to avoid discussing parenting tactics--until I was talking to Carla about shaving. āI shave, but ... Continue Reading

My Safe Person Is My Lighthouse (guest post).
I love lighthouses. I have Alex and Ani Lighthouse charms, lighthouses scattered throughout my apartment, and various prints and animations of these amazing structures. Growing up, I thought it would be really cool to visit all of the lighthouses on the eastern seaboard of the United States. And then I realized that was a huge undertaking, (I was 16) so I planned it state by state. At ... Continue Reading
Peaceful daughter = unapologetically myself.
Please to welcome Karen. To say I admire her feels like such a small phrase to capture the feelings she sparks inside me. She's wise. She's insightful. For years, through her blog, she's been able to capture so many of our emotions and feelings even when we are unable to do so ourselves.Ā She's amazaspiring. Enjoy. When I started reading Carlaās blog (sometime in early 2009, I think) ... Continue Reading
Fear and aging. A 40 word guest post.
fearless and 93. After my post asking why we work to avoid feeling fear I received the email below from my Great Aunt. I read it so many times, I finally asked her if I could share. It's forty words. It's one of the most powerful and thought provoking guest posts I've had. <3 Aging quiets fears and acceptance enters. I've learned to accept what I cannot change. My losses are ... Continue Reading
