Today is Blog Action Day ‘08. Poverty.
I have to admit, I’ve never been poor. Oh, I’ve had no money sometimes, and like one of the interns here at my office, I’d done my share of living on Ramen noodles. When my marriage ended, we landed in the United States with $400, four suitcases, and nothing […]
What on EARTH are we doing? Why did these teen-aged girls in Massachusetts, some younger than 16, intentionally get themselves knocked up? How selfish, self-centered, and stupid can we get? How unfair was this for the boys who helped these girls get pregnant, and who are now facing criminal charges of statutory rape?
I’m gobsmacked. 51 […]
Look, being a single mother is fashionable — everyone’s doing it!
Seriously, though, we single moms can count ourselves in good company. And if you’re an older single mom like me, you might remember that wacked out show, Northern Exposure. David Lynch. Loved it.
One of the stars of that show, Janine Turner, has written […]
Single moms get blamed for all sorts of things. Let’s stand up and push back. We are the keepers of our children’s flames. Let’s protect and nourish them.

There’s a book on my bedside table that I’m dying to delve into, called “Choosing Single Motherhood: The Thinking Woman’s Guide” by Mikki Morrisette. Ms. Morrisette chose motherhood twice, with the same donor father, as a single woman. Along the way she put together a tool kit for other women who might be considering this […]
Golly, but I feel so much better.
I got together with the most amazing, stunning, smart, funny, beautiful, competent group of single moms this evening. Some of us were old hands at this single thing, some were just dealing with the first steps of single motherhood. Some had found their way through adoption, some through divorce, […]
I’m loving the charity movement through the Blogosphere this holiday season. Having rather recently been a woman who needed more charity than she could ever give back, I will never again doubt the ability of a caring, compassionate community to turn peoples’ lives around for the better.
Which is why I’m writing about IttyBiz today. […]
Marketing is a powerful tool that can be used at the side of good or evil. I had a lovely lunch with a new friend today, who confessed that this whole environment thing had him genuinely worried. Global warming! No water for Atlanta in 80 days! Smith Island is disappearing. New Orleans wiped off the […]
As I’ve often said, dating a single mother makes someone responsible for two hearts, if not three: the mother’s, the child’s (and the biological father’s).
Life requires a certain leap of faith to get out of bed every morning… a certain forced optimism and blindness that quiets the fears that runaway busses, miscreants, or dumb luck […]
I don’t get to go to the black tie affair next week. Ah, well, such is life. I didn’t get my butt into the gym but once, so I’m not sure I ‘deserve’ to get all swanked up. It was a nice cattle prod though… I did get out and have a date or two, […]
