- I don’t lead a very exciting life; it’s certainly nothing to blog about. But some days my life is just amusing enough to share. I am a working mother of two young children (almost 4 and almost 1.) My husband teaches, so he is off most of the summer, but yesterday was his first day back for Fall. I know he never sleeps well the night before something like that, so I got up early and went about ...

- Last month my second Cup of Comfort story came out in the book A Cup of Comfort for the Adoptive Family. In the story, I share the reason I finally went ahead and adopted the Cabana Boy’s three small children, knowing then that they had lifetime issues. Reading through some of the other stories in the book, I’m fascinated by the other journeys parents have taken to expand their families ...

- 'What's the hardest part about being a writer?' It's a question I've been asked quite a lot recently. I think that those who ask expect an answer that's related in some way to the actual writing process. Sometimes they'll make suggestions whilst awaiting a response... 'Is it coming up with ideas?'... 'Is it killing off characters?'... 'Is it editing umpteen times?' In truth, I can't think of a ...

The embryos will be made from sperm and ova created from the stem ...

- If I don’t get up this Sunday and sink myself in my picnic chair with my laptop in front- I may develop a permanent twitch! Not sure what I can call this state I am in, definitely afraid to think “midlife crisis” is setting in as I try very hard calling from memory my primary school graduation- in fact, I don’t remember the whole ceremony at all!

- Now I'm usually not one to get worked up about being disrespected and all that, but damn there are moments. I've made a living in two predominantly testosterone-driven industries: the auto industry and the tech industry. I know what it feels like to be in the minority -- both as an English major and as a woman, but it took being infertile to truly appreciate what it means to be dissed. You can be ...
