About Me

  • Lauralee Moss, an Illinois native, grew up in a pitifully small town with little to do. Her boredom led to reading which led to a career. Her writing focuses on societal issues such as education, breast-feeding, and feminism.

    Her heroes growing up were Lois Lane, Murphy Brown, and Hillary Clinton. It is no accident that only one of those women is real.

  • Empathy

    November 17, 2009

    • The empathy I have always felt for characters scares me. I perhaps identify with imaginative people too much. Laura Ingalls Wilder struck me as a young girl. I recall crying because Mary went blind and Nellie Olson taunted everyone. Later, it was Charlotte Doyle, the Goosebump characters, and the boy from Where The Red Fern Grows. Then books started to teach me how literature connected the world ...

  • Forgiveness

    September 18, 2009

    • "Forgiveness is for yourself, not the injuring party," Aunt B always says. But if I forgive, does that mean a relationship, whether distant or close, must form? I want no relationship but I do want my thoughts void of her. If I forgive, will that happen?  It should be easy to forgive the mentally ill, such as my mother is, logically. She is sick, so she won't get help, so she won't ...

  • I really am 29

    August 26, 2009

    • This cusp that I approach tonight receives more hype from family and friends than from me. When I signed up for Red Room, I laughed as I read the bios of the directors, as they are all 29. I really was 29! I still am, for about another hour and a half.Thinking back 10 years ago, I can remember my 20th birthday. My friend Jen came to visit me at college, and I went out with some girlfriends. We ...

  • SRP

    August 19, 2009

    • My southern mother had several rules for me. And by several, I mean several dozens. Among my favorites, which I will never pass over to my daughter: eat before you go on a dinner date, always curl your hair, wash your hair twice so it shines more, wear high heels and pantyhose as often as possible, and never talk about sex, religion, or politics.Mother thought they were unbecoming or rough ...

  • Hauteur

    August 3, 2009

    • Word of the day sent me today's word-'Hauteur.' I am adding this to my daily vocabulary. I know someone whose mean attitude, nasty disposition, and overall ignorance can better be described as hauteur.

Comments I've Written

  • interesting

    It is terrible that such ignorance still exists. Fascinating blog, however. It is always interesting to learn something new.

  • Shoddy English

    I think writers should write well. More than an example for others, writers record present day cultures and societies.

  • I know the feeling. The

    I know the feeling. The 'suggestions' of facebook bring back memories of people I am no longer on friendly terms with, but obviously have many connections to them.

  • Alicia, I never even thought

    Alicia, I never even thought of that, but you are completely right. I have "Sherlock Holmes, Volume I" in my diaper bag right now but it is so bulky.

  • Change

    I am very new to this world, but could Kindle and such just be another change in our society? I really see this positively from an environmental view.
