The Fraternity

There’s a strange fraternal order several of my friends and I belong to – namely, it’s for those who have lost a parent very young. In theory, there has been no rhyme or reason as to why we’ve all crossed paths, but the reality – I know – is that we were meant to find… Read More The Fraternity

True Strength

When I get to see my friends and their families, I sometimes find myself watching their kids with a silly smile on my face.

Thinking About My Success

My mom has a long history of being funny, artsy, quirky – and infuriating. At least, when I was little, I thought she was the most infuriating person on the face of the planet. We were often at odds, and I was convinced that her every move was meant to traumatize me in some small… Read More Thinking About My Success
