I compromised my ability to tell my story, at the most basic level.

To share our stories is not only a worthwhile endeavor for the storyteller, but for those who hear our stories and feel less alone because of it.

One of the sad realities of being a parent is that the same stuff you know is exciting, educational, and enriching in your child'slife is often messy, smelly and exhausting to deal with.

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

If I told you about all the stories I don't tell, I would be violating the very boundaries I set for myself.

The silence was part of the story I wanted to tell.

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