Currently, I maintain three blogs (not very well): Catharsis, a humor blog; Families Coping with Infant Stroke, a site dedicated to providing information and raising awareness about pediatric stroke; and Ask the English Teacher, a blog where I provide reading, writing, grammar, and communication tips and showcase my ideas and experience as an English teacher.

I am also a contributing writer for Yahoo! and Examiner.  Exciting!

I’ve always been obsessed with my weight, even though I’ve never been the perfect amount of skinny. (Is there such a thing?) Up until high school, I was lanky. Lots of people commented on how tall I’d be when I grew up. (Cruel, really, given that I’m the shortest person in my immediate family.) Then came high school. I wasn’t ultra thin anymore. Instead, I was getting…meaty. The fact that I played varsity softball didn’t help, either. When we weren’t exercising on the field (and I’m using that… Continue
