Hey there, awesome readers!

Before I get to the pictures from our walk through Angell Woods, let me tell you what’s been going on over here.

There are a lot of documents open on my laptop. And before you ask, the answer is no, that’s not a metaphor for how overwhelmed I feel. Although, to be fair, I’m ghostwriting two memoirs AND writing a novel about a vampire. That’s right. I’m writing THREE books at the same time. My brain is basically a crowded coffee shop where everyone’s talking too loud and nobody tips.

Despite the overwhelm, there’s also a little celebratory relief because I’ve just finished with the second edition of Superwoman and it’s now in the hands of my publisher. This edition is called “The Sh*t They Don’t Tell You Edition.”

Revising Superwoman was like…

You know that feeling when you stumble across an old picture of yourself and think, “Wow. Who let me leave the house with those bangs?”

It was a little like that. But that’s okay because I got to rewrite sections to make them even better, plus I’ve added six new chapters, including perspectives from adults who were raised by single moms. So, new chapters, new voices, and a new cover. (I’ll be sharing the new cover with you as we get closer to the release date, which is March 2026.)

With all that’s going on, sometimes a girl needs to take her fingers off the keyboard, eyes off the screen, and walk away from it all. So, last weekend we decided to go for a gentle hike through Angell Woods. (Gentle = just under an hour, no bears, and only one dramatic sigh from me about leaving my laptop behind.)

Proof that I do occasionally leave my laptop. (Nature was shocked.)

Just a couple of kids in the woods.

Just a pretty formation.

Just some rock art.

Just a closer look.

Just a few words about the rock art.

And what’s a walk in nature without a few abandoned cars on the trail?

And then there’s this guy. Jed didn’t come on the walk with us because he’s 82 in human years and was busy taking his third nap of the morning.

What else I’m working on…

I also write the (almost) weekly Single Moms with Moxie newsletter. Think of it as your survival guide to single parenting – with equal parts hard-won wisdom and confessions like, “Yes, I once fed my kids peanut butter sandwiches three nights in a row and called it theme weekend.”
