Some stories don't have happy endings. Even love stories. Maybe especially love stories.

We women. as glue for the family. lead lives that are important and conflicted. What we women choose to give up for our families is important and valid.

I have often wished in the past few years that my mom were here to help me as I raised my own teenage son. As a girl, with my own mom, I thought I knew it all; now I know better. Somewhere, I know my mom is smiling.

I can be a little OCD when it comes to my writing.

It isn’t about being at the same school or the same town or even the same room. It’s about being together. Love is a choice you make.

Finding your passion isn't just about careers and money. It's about finding your authentic self. The one you've buried beneath other people's needs.
