I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.

I used to be more paranoid and stressed, constantly worrying about my Plan B. But the truth is I don't have one.

Buddhism has had a major effect on who I am and how I think about the world. What I have learned is that I like all religions, but only parts of them.

The argument about marriage equality will one day seem as arcane and shocking to us as the fact that Rosa Parks had to get up and go to the back of the bus.

On a fundamental level - I know so many women in their 30s who didn't get married, or they did and it didn't work out, or they didn't have children because they were trying to get their careers going, or because they were expected to be independent, plus have a family. They didn't feel secure enough.

It is technically a failure when you don't try.

My washing machine overwhelms me with its options and its sophistication.
