My Letter to Fear
Based on interviews with women, these essays about life (and all of its funny, sad and ridiculous aspects) were published in 2014.
Awkward Moment
As you all know, I am delightfully oblivious to the people around me most of the time. Absent professors have nothing on me. However, from time to time, I will hear something during the course of running an errand (or saving the world) that just sets me off. I thought today was one of those
Who Am I Anyway?
Who am I anyway?Am I my resume?That is a picture of a person I don’t know. A Chorus Line As I’ve mentioned, the process of willingly separating yourself from a job of 16+ years is a long one, and it involves an extraordinary amount of paperwork. While that is a nuisance, there is only
House Hunters
Well, it has finally happened: my brain has stopped trying to process what I’ve done by leaving my job and just embraced Property Virgins, House Hunters and House Hunters International. I may have watched (on and off) about 7 hours of those shows on Monday. I’m no closer to figuring out what I want to
And We Want Him Why?

Day 3: Reality Check
I may have expected too much from my new life—or at least I may have expected fabulousness to begin occurring with a rapidity that was unrealistic. I feel enormous pressure to find something amazing every day, for no other reason than I think I believed that to be so. I had this “look out world”
Penguin Joy
At some point, I would like to be as happy as this penguin. New goal! http://img.widgets.video.s-msn.com/flash/customplayer/1_0/customplayer.swfVideo: Penguin Loves To Get Scratched
Review
Clearly, in order to become a wildly famous author with Pulitzer committee calls and film conversion offers waiting in the wings, I should tell you about the brilliance that was my first day in my new life. That brilliance should include a sly mention of my embarking on a torrid affair with a well-known leading
Day 1: But I am My Blackberry
It turns out that the first thing to throw me about my new found “adventure” was not the relatively late wake-up time (slept in until almost 6am, thank you very much!), and it wasn’t the lack of frantic emails on a Sunday night about the work week. It was my missing Blackberry. I have perfected
