I cannot believe how much I love stats. Literally, I cried with tutors over math my entire life! But give me some stats problems to solve and I will not stop until I figure them out. I liked stats 10 years ago, and I still like it now. Wild. If I were to go backContinue reading “Math Anxiety”

Merry Go Round
“How do you know it’s time to take your girlfriend to a merry-go-round?” “When you want to spin the rest of your life with her.” When I was a kid, I used to love the merry-go-round. I liked trying to walk afterward and feeling the world around me. These days, I get excited when IContinue reading “Merry Go Round”
The Right Time
“I am in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.” I’m on my way to 40, and it’s starting to get to me. I went down the rabbit hole of feeling like I wasted so much time (5 years) trying to have and keep a baby that I didn’t stay focused on myContinue reading “The Right Time”
Happy Valentine’s Day
“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.” – Thomas Aquinas I knew I wanted to marry my husband when I saw him, but I knew even more when he became my best friend.

Writers Life: Onward
“There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.” – Shannon L. Alder I started a short story. It’s boring, and I haven’t really found the purpose yet. I didn’t want to start another story until I finished the novel, butContinue reading “Writers Life: Onward”
Writing Reasons
“Perhaps I write for no one. Perhaps for the same person children are writing for when they scrawl their names in the snow.” ― Margaret Atwood I write for everyone and no one. I write for me. I write for those I love; I write for the little girls who think they don’t fit inContinue reading “Writing Reasons”
