My kids call me a “death attorney” without even a trace of sarcasm. And it is true we have seen a lot of death lately. As an estate planning attorney it sometimes falls to me to be with my clients during their last days, hours, even at their bedside at their last breath. Some haveContinue reading “On Death 🪦💀”

Every Mom’s Nightmare
My good friend is suffering. I have been on this journey with her, especially since we live next door and have similar age kids in the same school. It has been heartbreaking to see her go from vibrant yoga studio owner to very very sick. Please help if you are inclined, whether by donating orContinue reading “Every Mom’s Nightmare”
Sticks & Stones
I love to listen to The Message version of The Holy Bible app first thing in the morning. I know my Mom would not approve because to her the only true Word of God was the King James, but even though I have read the Bible several times through I still gain so many newContinue reading “Sticks & Stones”
Teenagers
My teenager: “Stop texting me. You know how I feel about you and how you treated me. If you want another chance it’s too late” Me…was it the trip to Universal over NYE, fast pass & all you can eat…? Was it taking time to homeschool you until you were in 6th grade when youContinue reading “Teenagers”

They request food and do not eat it. I buy them clothes and they do not wear them. And sometimes it is annoying when people speakContinue reading “Kids”
Thoughts on the Tuskegee and Holocaust Experiments, Experimental Vaccines and the First Amendment
Do you recall the Tuskegee Syphillis Experiment/“Study”? It was a project that spanned 1932-72 wherein a group of poor black men with syphillis were observed and told they were being treated for “bad blood”. No informed consent was obtained and they were not provided with the treatment of the day which toward the end ofContinue reading “Thoughts on the Tuskegee and Holocaust Experiments, Experimental Vaccines and the First Amendment”
Universal Guide 🎡🎢
A few years back, pre COVID (since that is how we measure things nowadays), I brought my kids to Universal. It was one of the first trips I’d brought them on as a single mom and it felt big. But I ended up with my first ever huge migraine, out of nowhere, and was soContinue reading “Universal Guide 🎡🎢”
On NYE
Admit it. New Years Eve is always sort of a disappointment, right? You spend big money for a ticket to what is billed as The Party or maybe you celebrate a little more low key with friends. You shell out for a babysitter. If you are me you dress up. . . And inevitably itContinue reading “On NYE”
TreeUmph Review
Today my family visited TreeUmph in Bradenton, Florida for the first time. It is an ingenious collection of ropes courses set among the trees in rural inland Florida. There are three different courses for different age and skill levels. The more challenging ones take about 3 hours. Kids have to be able to reach toContinue reading “TreeUmph Review”
