Baby Steps to Greatness

This is dedicated to my beautiful, talented friend, Renita Cotton. She just recorded and released her first EP of original music. I want to share her with you. First, because she has been taking her #babystepstogreatness and is finally achieving some of her dreams! And second, I realized that inspiration can come from wonderful places. We…

Girls Do THIS, not THAT

Lately, H (9 year old girl twin) has been struggling with what it means to be a girl. Traditional gender roles don’t appeal to her. She doesn’t like pink. She rarely wears dresses. She loves to skateboard and she has the trendiest short hair cut that’s ever graced a 9 year old’s head. She could easily…

I Promise, I’ll Keep Trying

Well, there goes all that hard work and those healthy initiatives from a few months back. Remember that? Remember when I thought I’d figured out the “secrets” to staying healthy and spoke like I knew something…anything about it. Look at me up there, all pompous and motivated and successful at losing weight. And sure, it doesn’t…
