Although, I didn’t necessarily go back and pull things out the journals to include in the memoir, but instead the events I wrote about are still very vivid in my memory.

Growing up and talking about significant events with my sisters and friends also helped keep things fresh in my mind. My sisters and I often had conversations that took us back into our childhood and we compared our memories. I truly appreciate you taking the time to not only read the memoir, but also post your question. Thank you!(less)

What's Your Purpose?

When I think about the question what’s your purpose I must reflect on my career choice, public education. Sure my own kids and husband are first, but beyond that. What's my purpose? Simple, advocate for kids (other than my own).
Now that I've published my memoir, This is Not for You, readers approach me with their sympathies and comments about my childhood. I would have never been able to write t Read more of this blog post »
