new york state of mind

In May, I had the awesome privilege of talking to - not one, but two! - live audiences about my daughter.

As a cast member of the inaugural Listen To Your Mother Charleston, I stood with fourteen other authors to read stories about mothering. Our stories melded to create something bigger than the sum of its parts, a delightfully rich and nutty Southern literary motherhood pie. 

My slice of the pie? Sharing a story about raising a daughter, of course. About how she challenges me, about how she sees me as a powerful woman, and about how she helps me see myself as a powerful woman. It was this writing/performing mother's dream job.

The best part of my life is being a mom to this amazing child. My relationship with her is one of my favorite things to write about. 

Because she has changed me for the better.
