Mothers are many things, but perfect is not one of them Mothers often think they need to be perfect, but the truth is they're a work in progress, just like the kids they're raising.

Sharing a piece on motherhood + imperfection I wrote for @herviewfromhome.bsky.social

I hear that! I feel the same way sometimes!!

I Said Goodbye to a Different Part of You Every Day - Her View From Home When my mom got cancer, it started our long goodbye and developing dementia made us lose parts of her every day.

Sharing a piece I wrote about losing my mother (both ambiguously and physically):

Writers: Where do you find your inspiration?

My kids inspire my PB manuscripts, hardship & challenge inspire my personal essays, and regardless of what I'm writing, the sun and a good cup of coffee motivate me to keep going!

I try hard to write, revise, come up with a PB idea (brainstorm) daily. I also write personal essays, so some day I'm more inclined to draft those. I love setting up my computer by the window for the natural light, sipping coffee, and then just seeing where my ideas take me!

YES! :-)

Such a sweet storytime at @creamandamber.bsky.social today! Loved reading my books to the kids, and getting to spend time at this amazing bookstore/coffee shop/wine bar! Check it out if you live nearby! So cute!
