Ever since I was a little girl I had a secret wish to be a published author. I never let anyone ever know this since my dyslexia always made school very difficult for me.

Me, a writer, that’s ridiculous.

One day I got up the courage to admit my desire to my then boyfriend, now husband, and found a great cheerleader in Joe. Years later I found another cheerleader when I met my friend Maria.Their support means the world to me and I can never thank them enough for always believing in me.

In 2013 I became a published author not once, but twice! I am a very honored contributor to:

The HerStories Project My Essay: The United Federation of Moms

Sunshine After the Storm: A Survival Guide for the Grieving Mother My Essay: Please Don’t Let Me Have a Fifth Miscarriage.

After blogging for almost 4 years, and cheering whenever one of my friends had a post that went viral, I have had the great fortune of getting to experience a taste of this myself with my Huffington Post piece, An Open Letter to My Teenage Son About Drinking (7/23/14).

I can’t quite tell you the thrill I felt when Yahoo shared the piece, under the title,

An Open Letter To My Son About Underage Drinking on the July 27, 2014 cover.

This piece has been shared and liked well over 100K on the HuffPost alone and has run in numerous online publications. The letter has also been used online and in printed materials for various school boards and advocacy groups involved in stopping underage drinking. Pretty heady stuff! Rest assured, the dishwasher was not in the least impressed and continues to be as possessed as ever.
