Did anyone see Crazy Sexy Cancer on TLC? It’s a self-portrait documentary about when 31-year-old actress/photographer Kris Carr was diagnosed with cancer. She takes us brilliantly and eloquently through her journey to try to figure out how she got cancer and how she tries, virtually anything, to heal her body.
I thought it was a brilliant piece of art. It was […]
Have you read YOU: The Owner’s Manual: An Insider’s Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger? Since reading it I’ve been reading the backs of labels.
I didn’t know it but High Fructose Corn Syrup is my favorite food on the planet. I’m actually unsure if it’s possible not to eat it. […]
Are You My Mother?You know that Dr. Seuss book where the baby is asking all the wild animals Are You My Mother?
Zack could look back and forth and see the battle yesterday at Ainsley’s Meet The Teacher Meeting. The power struggle between my daughter and I, laying claim over mothering Zack was palpable.

Suze Orman used to be Susie but she wanted be more powerfully herself. Tracee Sioux used to be Tracee Sue Jones and then Tracee Sue Simmons but didn’t want to change names with marital status. Check out So Sioux Me if you’re curious how I resolved my child-bride/divorce naming delemma.
Do you say your chosen full name […]
So, I volunteered to be my daughter’s soccer coach. Primarily because I wanted to change the name of the team from The Bratz to Happy Feet.
At the coaching seminar I attended they had a handout about the development of 5 and 6 year old kids.
They have a sense of self-worth that is based on a […]
I missed my face.
My reflection is how I identify with my self.
It’s mysterious to me how I could look in the mirror every day, putting on make up, fixing my hair, or brushing my teeth and then be totally shocked when I saw a photo of myself. I was fat and didn’t see it. The power […]
I was contacted by a local reporter today for an interview about two local sex industry businesses applying for a business permit. Check it out here.
I had planned to spend my day reporting on a Dating Respect Conference for my empowering girl website. I had invited three teenage girls to go with me. My daughter got sick so […]
The other day in a matter of minutes myself and my two kids were overcome with congestion. We were fine, and then all three of us weren’t. There was something in the air that we just didn’t respond well to.
In the same way I’ve noticed there is something in the air breeding discontent. By discontent, I […]
This just in from The Economist, in a global study, Gallup’s pollsters asked a standard question: how satisfied are you with your life, on a scale of nought to ten?

Have you heard of Zafu.com? I read about this in O Magazine last week. It’s brilliant - if it works.

The site will break it down by how likely the jeans or bra are to fit you, […]
Am I alone in breathing a huge sigh of relief that low-waisted jeans appear to be out?
I heard Sarah Jessica Parker, say on Oprah, that her new line Bitten includes no low-waisted jeans because she’s over it. I’ve been over it since they were in.
Hallelujah!
Let’s face it, during the low-waisted trend I’ve been non-16. I’ve been doing feminine […]

There are two reasons to love a pair of shoes.
1. They look fantastic and make you feel more confident, attractive or sexy. Like the Mossimo Peep-toe Pumps I got for my birthday. Or. . .
2. They’re comfortable. Like the platypus-toe Keens my mom gave me.
I did the shoe switcheroo on Saturday. I wore the pumps to […]
There were a few things about giving birth that I didn’t expect. Well, there were lots of shocking things about birth, but I’ll focus this column on two of them.
First, my feet grew an entire size with each pregnancy. Before I had children I had a size 7 - 7.5 foot. I recently bought a […]
When I got grew up I vowed not to be like my mother in certain areas. I now realize there are WAY worse people to be, but back then that’s where I was. Basically, I didn’t appreciate all the harping and nagging she did about picking up my stuff and cleaning up after myself. Calm down, what’s […]
