Change My Life: How To Grieve

I told God and the vast abundant Universe that I wanted more. “Absolutely! Just open your palm!” But, my palm was full of stuff that wasn’t serving me. It was making me sad, angry, frustrated and unhappy. Worst of all, it was leaving me starved – love starved – spiritually starved. But, I didn’t want […]

Law of Attraction & Money: The Divorce I Always Wanted

I am living Happily Ever After. And getting divorced. People keep insisting to me that “divorce is hard.” So far, (we’ve been separated but living together since Jan, and living separately since the beginning of May), in my experience divorce is a hell of a lot easier than being unhappily married. WHAT HAPPENED? He depletes me. He […]

Your Mama! @momsrising #mothersday

A: My mom is so nice that the Purple People Eaters won’t even eat her. A: My mom is so smart that she can even get three articles done in one day! Z: My mom is so nice that she won’t even be mean to my dog when I’m at school. Z: Mom, can you […]

“Real” Human Barbie

The Internet is awash with controversy over whether a Ukrainian woman is a “natural” Barbie look-a-like. Did she have plastic surgery or didn’t she? Uh, who cares? The more interesting question is why she wants to emulate an inanimate object — a plastic child’s toy? To attract men? But, do little boys really grow up fantasizing about […]

Change My Life: Puberty and Menstrual Health

Who knew there were loads of organizations with a focus on menstrual health? Not me. I’m not even sure that I knew “menstrual health” was a thing. Since the New York Times story I’ve been contacted by several organizations which focus on menses. I had a chance to speak to Dr. Greg Smith, director of […]

Law of Attraction & Money: The Jig is Up Standardized Testers

  The whole state just finished their Standardized Tests. If you’re a parent you know that the entire school year has been hijacked by making sure kids pass these tests. It’s legislation called No Child Left Behind and was the major education reformation of George II. The test had a number of consequences — some […]

The Girl Revolution in New York Times Magazine

Very Public Exposure Ainsley and I were in the New York Times Magazine on Friday. It was risky and scary, though important, because the topic was early puberty. TGR Body, our craptastic-ingredient-free skincare line (many skincare products are thought to have toxins that interfere with hormones), and The Girl Revolution were both highlighted. You know […]

Soul Path: Treating Myself the Way I Want to Be Treated

I’m experimenting with something so simple, but so revolutionary. I’m treating myself the way I want to be treated. I’ve been kinder to myself lately. I’m going through a major transition in most areas of my life and it has caused me to reflect on why I’ve allowed myself to be treated in ways that […]

Law of Attraction & Money: Spring Break Staycation, Frugal or Free

It’s Spring Break and we’re staying home. We live in a town where people come for vacation. The kids and I made a list of free and frugal things we want to do this week. $2 movie matinee, Alvin and the Chipmunks Shipwrecked, ($6) Great Plates, Fort Collins restaurants are offering breakfast and lunch deals for $2.50, […]

Girlz Make Language Their Bitch

The New York Times has an article, They’re, Like, Way Ahead of the Linguistic Currrrve, about how new studies have found that girls and women direct language for the rest of the population. The article is slightly condescending in tone, in that, well just look at the title yourself. Then look at this little cartoon. They cite […]
