Yesterday, I took a class from The Coteirie lead by Elora Ramierz, about writing authentically. Elora is a wonderful teacher with crazy awesome insights, like “often the story we’re meant to tell is the one wrapped tight with fear” and “it’s hard to be jealous of someone you invite into collaboration” and my favorite, “Look for synchronicity; when you start to hear the same things from different places, that’s an indicator that you have a story tell.” Have you ever...

I want to write more consistently on the blog, but I'd love to learn how other mommy bloggers balance work and family.

What I Need You to Say in Response to the Shooting in Charleston

Last updated on: June 18, 2015 at 1:37 pm By Osheta Moore

I almost wrote this post when there were riots in Ferguson and I almost wrote this post when protestors were holding up signs that read, “I can’t breathe”.

Ok, y’all. I’m all twitterpated about something right now and I can’t wait to share with you.
