I made my first quiche last night: Martha Stewart's very easy broccoli and cheddar quiche. Not too shabby. Aunt Flo is slowly making her exit, but she's taking her sweet ass time about it. It's like she's got to go through every room of our house, double-checking … Read More »
Healing
Move toward mindful living and coping via cathartic expression and emotional validation. May you find peace, joy, comfort, and light – wherever you are on your journey.
In sanguine, veritas.
When I was ten years old, just four days before my eleventh birthday, I awoke from my nap and headed to the bathroom, the urge to pee having woken me up. It was the first time I would see the smudge: the bright red spots stark against the white cotton lining of my panties. In … Read More »

Mission TZ3 Cycle Update
It's been crickets around here lately, I know. I've been doing a bunch of writing on the side, battling depression and having all sorts of weird feelings about this blog space that I'm still parsing out. Also, since only one person registered for my eClass that was supposed to … Read More »
The Depression Confession
I realize my posting has been sporadic at best around here. A variety of things have come up - various writing projects, some job leads, random travel. But mostly? Mostly I've been living under the weight of near crippling depression. Writing has always been in my coping … Read More »
Do IVF Contests Gamble With Our Hope? (Updated)
I was recently named one of ShareCare.com's Top 10 Online Influences for Infertility. It's a privilege that still humbles me greatly and I am honored to have been independently recognized in that regard. I'm also very humbled to be on this list in the company of some true … Read More »
