Catching up
Here’s a glimpse into some recent (and upcoming) happenings! This past weekend, I was honored to be a speaker at the AAUW Author Luncheon in Seal Beach.

A Room of One’s Own
Two weeks ago, my little family moved into a new house. Actually, it was a construction zone at the time we moved in, but it’s starting to feel like a home. One of my first priorities after setting up my daughter’s room was my office. Yes, my very own office! In our previous house, my — Read More

You must not sleep.” Lest I give the impression that women should burn the proverbial candle at both ends, I had to correct her: — Read More
