Line by Line Lessons of 2009

Posted on December 30, 2009 at 8:32pm 1 Comment

I've come to rely on the role my blog plays in my life--blog as co-conspirator, accomplice, and witness.

I've learned that that is one of ways my blog's voice has become so clear in it's intent, and mission to reflect on this chaotic choice life I'm running behind half the time.



Biggest ah-ha's this year:



1. the more I write, the more I write.



2. shorter posts illicit more responses.



3. my free verse style is fresh for people, and it is OK to mix… Continue

A Mother of Another Color

If I am not a Black Mother



and I am not a mother to white children



does that make me grey?





Or would a Grey Mommy



connote a mother of a certain age range



that I may be approaching

Your recent writing retreat (which you wrote about at Mother Writer) inspires me Catherine! One day.. How old is your babe? My twins are almost 5 mo old and I'm wondering when I can do an overnighter away from them. I don't quite feel ready yet...but one day?! Love the image of you and your Mother Writer tote!

Oh my, I just realized I made a huge mistake on posting that piece about Nora! It wasn't written by me, but my friend Tiffany. I forgot her byline! Thank you for brinfing that to my attention and I will pass along the comments. And I thought I was saving time by doing it the night before.

Thank you for your comments! I enjoy the poem you have above. You make some very valid points in striking ways. I've read articles in Brain, Child that addressed similar thoughts.
