The Web
I write frequently about spirituality, marriage, motherhood, and more on my blog, and my work has appeared on Maria Shriver’s The Shriver Report, Scary Mommy, Blog Her (now SheKnows.com), Tiny Buddha, Purpose Fairy, Lifehack, Brevity, and many others (see below for a full list). “The Stranded Bird of Pavia,” which is based on my relationship with my mother, was published in Literary Mama’s 2014 Mother’s Day issue.
My award-winning essay, “Mothering Mothers, and Finding Comfort in the Branches of an Empty Nest,” is featured in the anthology Nothing But the Truth So Help Me God: 73 Women on Life’s Transitions alongside work by Kelly Corrigan and Belva Davis. In addition, I’m a member of Left Coast Writers, and I’m currently at work on a second book that’s based on the wisdom tips I share with the 11,000-plus followers I have on Twitter.
