Worked with superstar editor @RheanaMurray @TODAYshow @today on this piece. Hopefully it helps a parent or two who's struggling to let go of their about-to-be college kid. All will be okay. Maybe even better than okay. today.com/parents/essay/…


Best part of yesterday was spent at The Writers Bridge listening to @andreaaskowitz of @wrtgclassradio give her thoughts on writing essays and actionable tips for stories on stage. @andreaaskowitz @GuerillaMemoir and @Sharla_R_Yates were so fun! rebirthyourwriting.myflodesk.com/bridge


Last night, I cried when @patsajak signed off. The guy's been a part of my nightly routine for decades. But I do love @RyanSeacrest No pressure @RyanSeacrest Just a country hoping you don't miss a beat.

Took a great writer marketing class with @GuerillaMemoir and @JaneFriedman yesterday! informative and inspiring. A dynamic duo!


Two weeks ago, I went to court. A moment with my dad inspired me to jot down a tiny love story for @NYTStyles I didn't overthink it. I sent it. Two hours later, I heard back from @hannah_wulkan Reminder to myself: not everything has to be hard.

"It took me 10 years of fertility treatments to have 2 kids. I’d do it all again." April 21-27 is National Infertility Awareness Week. today.com/parents/essay/…


My brain is sore after a weekend of memoir bootcamp with @GuerillaMemoir and @abbys480 Today I have a map, new writer friends, and a boost of writing power. @GuerillaMemoir is AMAZING! Take a class with her--any class--she's so freaking smart.


Thrilled to have my Tiny Love in the @NYTStyles this week! Thank you to @yayamilee for the YES and edits.

A decade ago, my mother announced we were no longer celebrating Christmas. Instead, we'd celebrate Seagull Day. I was sure she'd seen it on Pinterest. But this was her own holiday. I wrote about it for @HuffPost with the fabulous editor @noahmichelson huffpost.com/entry/christma…


"For 14 years, thinking about saying goodbye to Emily meant something finite. Now it carries a whole other set of outcomes. The reality makes my head spin." I'll be the mom sobbing on the grass at drop-off. @Newsweek @BostonChildrens newsweek.com/daughter-going…

Just saw Barbie. 1994 Amy, and all the versions since, feel so seen.


I hated everything about Barbie until Emily got cancer and Barbie took her far away from the hospital. This piece for @thisisinsider details why I'll be standing on my movie seat chair chanting, "Barbie! Barbie! Barbie!" I owe you one @Barbie insider.com/how-playing-ba…


Wrote this for @HuffPost with @noahmichelson who makes writing fun. "If cancer gave me anything, it’s perspective. To know the little moments are the big moments. And the milestones along the way remind us that our child is OK, we are OK and life is OK." huffpost.com/entry/mom-chil…


Who doesn't love a story about a magic wand curing Emily's cancer? I'm thrilled (read: wild with emotion) that it's online this morning and in print on Tuesday for @washingtonpost @BostonChildrens @TheJimmyFund #childhoodcancer washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…
