A good home must be made, not bought. In the end, it's not track lighting or a sun room that brings light into a kitchen.

I have long observed that the act of writing is viewed, by some, as an elite and otherworldly act, all the more so if a person isn't paid for what she writes.

No, I said. I didn't remember that. There was so much to remember, sometimes the best thing was to forget.

Growing up in the fifties and sixties, I can only remember knowing one child, ever, whose parents got a divorce, and hardly any whose mother "worked" at anything besides raising her children.

Every child, woman, and man should possess license to speak or sing in his or her true voice.

The big dramas that fascinate me are the quiet ones that happen behind closed doors in so-called ordinary families.
