Life, a good life, a great life is about "Why not?" May we never forget it.

For the moment, my life is a little schizophrenic.

I used to think when I had children that somebody else had the rule book and they hadn't given it to me, and everybody else knew how to do it right except me. I find the same thing in writing: you think that everybody knows what they're doing and that you don't.

When you can bring yourself to write about it one day, you will find it all less painful. It is a catharsis of sorts, but the process can be brutal. Don’t do it until you’re ready.

I'm not an aging gracefully type. But I do believe in aging with grace.

Sometimes, if you aren't sure about something, you just have to jump off the bridge and grow your wings on the way down.

Motherhood is not for the faint-hearted. Frogs, skinned knees, and the insults of teenage girls are not meant for the wimpy.
