Wednesday’s Child: Julieta, Sanela, Anela, Osman

March 13, 2019

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

Why sleep when you can read? || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from January 2009

March 7, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from January 2009.  India seems to inherited my tendency to read books while I should be sleeping. This is often the scene I find when I come to get her out of bed in the morning, or after her nap.

It's cute, but one of these days I will need to explain to her that this habit will not serve her well once she has actual . . .

On sexual satisfaction and the difference between men and women

March 1, 2019

I’ve partnered with the #righttodesire campaign to bring awareness to female Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder Over the past few months, I've been engaging in conversations around women and sexual desire. We've been particularly talking about the issue of low libido, which seems to be a very prevalent issue for women my age. I'm also noticing that women are dying to talk about this. Sarah and I announced we were doing an episode on low sexual desire and our podcast facebook community lit up . . .
