In the Mom Lane: Grief and Guiding Lights
A friend posted a copy of this picture the other day. It wrapped my heart in a cloak of sadness and sucked the breath right out of my lungs. I know that grief. That crushing weight, the one that clouds your mind and squeezes joy out of your heart. It finds you…when you expect it…
Writer Meme Monday: Ready for NaNo!…?
The last few weeks, many of my writer friends have been preparing for the annual month of writing-frenzy, or, NaNo. I’ll be honest, I’m thinking (“sinking”) about it… National Novel Writing Month (NaNo, or NaNoWriMo) is a challenge to write 50,000 in the span of 30 days, over the Thanksgiving holiday and into the…
If We Were Having Coffee…I Would Say It’s Time for Wine.
And indeed, if we were having coffee, I would decline the cup of joe and go for something cool, crisp and white. The humidity is dense in SC tonight and even for this devoted coffee-drinker, the hot drink (and only acceptable way for me to drink coffee) is a no-go tonight. If we were having…

This is where I have been, and where I continue to live…editing and re-writing. And editing and re-writing. And editing and ruminating about how to re-write some more. #thestruggleisreal when it comes to hacking apart something you wrote with your heart! One day, the next draft will be done. Until then, I’m reading the next chapter…
Life in the Mom Lane:One of These Things…

Life in the Mom Lane: Toddlers vs. Locks, Part II
The other week we were gathered in the kitchen after dinner – me, hubby, Big Dude, Little Man and my in-laws.
