Wednesday’s Child: Zaahir

December 7, 2022

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 . . .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY (WHO IS NOT A BABY) | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011.

December 1, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011. Today is Karis’s 2nd birthday.  I am trying not to think about it too much, because if I think about it too much, I will have to acknowledge that being TWO definitely catapults her out of the baby stage, and I am in total and complete denial about that fact.  We celebrated her birthday on Sunday, when the grandparents were here. For reasons that are beyond my comprehension, I admitted to Jafta that Sunday was not . . .

LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011.

November 24, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM APRIL 2011. `On Saturday, I attended a read-through for a show I am doing next Sunday afternoon.  There was a time in my life when terms like “read-through” and “doing a show” did not make me feel like a giant phoney.  There was a time when the passions that are now dormant had regular and tangible outlets.  So I’m a little giddy to be “doing a show”.  Next week I’ll be taking part in the LA version of Listen To Your Mother – a national . . .
