More than a wall flower and less than living for the applause, (no dis to Gaga) there is a place of recognized exposure. A nice place.

when listening feels like drowning

February 5, 2015 by nycredhead2021

  I find one of the hardest things for me to do is hear someone I care about, tell me the gruesome details of the pain they are experiencing. Firstly, because I immediately want to fix it, change it, talk them out of it or all the above. It’s my nature to nurture and I also admittedly have an ego about saving everyone. Call it codependency or a fairy godmother complex, but I want to help you, all of you. […]

Sometimes a few words go a long way

February 5, 2015 by nycredhead2021

Here’s an essay I wrote for the LA Times, LA Affairs section.  It tells the tale of the antiquated way I met my husband over 15 years ago… Those of you who know us, can see that the illustrator captured the car and us in an uncanny likeness. Holla back if it strikes a chord. 🙂 http://www.latimes.com/style/laaffairs/la-hm-affairs-20140913-story.html

say cancer not the freakin’ C-word

February 4, 2015 by nycredhead2021

Mammograms are not fun. The atmosphere of the screening office is often hectic, somber and noisy. Not a good combo when one is back to see if your breast cancer may have come back or that “calcification” in the same breast that you had breast cancer in over 5 years ago, maybe turning into something. I never think it has. I always have the mantrs, just like when I get on a plane. I’m on this plane and I’m supposed […]

Acid… not that one.

December 31, 2014 by nycredhead2021

  Undoubtedly you’ve heard about the magic of Kale and you think it’s all bullshit and or that the farmers of the world had a secret meeting to roll out the Kale-con. Apparently an acidic body causes inflammation and and alkaline body is healthier. AND greens make you more alkaline and KALE IS A GREEN KING. Here’s the thing, I like kale. I’m one of those I-like-healthy-green-stuff people, even if it’s bitter, maybe because I want to feel good at […]

12 Reasons to say I’m sorry

December 23, 2014 by nycredhead2021

Forgive. Don’t forget. It’s that time of year. A new one. Time for a clean slate. It actually creates relief, space, air, less stress… and that’s good. It’s not as hard as it seems. It’s two words. It has a very powerful message about who you are. It gives the person you are addressing, hope, about mankind. (I’m not kidding) Your wife (or husband) will remember why they love you. Its the start of a better you. Even if you […]

pace. Yes, that’s right peace.

December 20, 2014 by nycredhead2021

Peace. Ah, such a potent word. Peace on earth seems like a fantasy these days. Violence against innocent school children, insane threats and cyber hacking. The local news is packed with DUI deaths, missing persons and car chases. People are sad, broke, over worked, tired… sick. I hear it all the time because I’m that kind of listener as well as a magnet for details. Maybe it’s my writer curiosity to hear everything or maybe I have a big heart […]
