On Winning (A Love Letter)

I’m all in on the Olympics this month. (Read my blog post from earlier this week about my love of them here.)

On Writing and the Olympics

Take A Hint From Michael Phelps

I adore Michael Phelps almost as much as I love his mother. I think I just love seeing the two of them together because it reminds me of my relationship with my own adored son, Lewis. There's just something so unique about that mother-son relationship. Of course, the mother-daughter relationship is special and unique also […]
