Motherhood had me imagining that someday, when they were old enough, my children would look to me as a source of information and wisdom. That they’d come to me looking for advice about life. I imagined us having long conversations where I’d share what I’ve learned along the way. But that moment never really happened. Instead, the Internet became their source of information and I wondered how my lived experience could possibly compete with that.

So, I chose a different path.

I began turning my life lessons into stories. Narratives layered with meaning, written with the hope that one day they might read them.

Interesting, but frustrating. I enjoyed the military setting. And at 219 pages, I wished there was more. Would’ve liked to have seen better story development. The scenes were very short, so things moved along quickly. But the secondary characters wer ...more

“Humor is the razor-sharp edge of the truth. It’s pain and anger made funny…because if you’re just angry all the time, all you’re going to do is burn yourself out and chase everybody away. That’s not how you change hearts and minds…passion is better than Prozac.”

“Everyone uses that awful cliché that love hurts, but that’s not true. Real love doesn’t hurt. Real love is wonderful. Its loneliness that hurts. And rejection. And losing someone close to you hurts. Everyone confuses these things with love, but in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.”
― Christina Ross
