Monetizing Pain

I spent my weekend at a conference about making money online.
Correction.
I spent half my weekend sitting in a conference about making money online thinking, what the hell am I doing here?, and sending an incessant amount of snarky, bitchy, annoying tweets.
I spent the other half of my weekend holed up in my hotel room with [...]

We Break From Our Regularly Scheduled Drama To Do Something Good

Kevin of Always Home and Uncool has asked me to post this as part of his effort to raise awareness in the blogosphere of juvenile myositis, a rare autoimmune disease his daughter was diagnosed with on this day seven years ago. The day also happens to be his wife’s birthday.
Take it away, Kevin…

And Jesus Would Say: Never Unfollow Someone Just Because They Unfollowed You

Sarah pointed me to an article in Wired that pretty much sums up my philosophy on life.
Or, at the very least, the point I’ve been trying to make in an ongoing argument with Avitable recently.*
The entire article is a long list of new rules of behavior for “highly evolved humans” – aka, people living in [...]

Growth. Which is not the same as good writing. Clearly.

I’ve written a lot of really personal stuff here.
I’ve talked about my marriage – the good and the bad.  I’ve documented my depression as it was happening.  I’ve used this blog to communicate with my husband via “open letters“, often revealing on the blog things I couldn’t say face to face.
And yet, yesterday, I wrote [...]

In two days I leave for BlogHer.
I swear, I can actually hear most of you groaning.
Sure, there are a handful of you who read this blog who will also be attending BlogHer.  And maybe you are just as excited and nervous as I am.  I’m certain you are.
But the rest of you, the bulk of [...]

Let me tell you now that some of you will hate this post. I’m not entirely comfortable with that right now, but I’m going write it anyway because… well, it’s what I do.
I’m using that disclaimer, in part, to avoid starting.
I’m never sure where to begin when I’m unraveling my fears.
The short version of [...]

Please do not punch a baby.

I decided recently that if I don’t have anything blog worthy, I’m just not going to blog*.
You don’t need an explanation from me or an apology post. No guest bloggers need to fill the gaping hole that is surely left in your day.
Because seriously? It’s a blog. About my life. It [...]

How To Win Friends And Influence People On The Internet

Way back before the world blew up, I quickly wrote a post and asked you guys for your thoughts about blogging.
And you came out of the woodwork like a swarm of locusts! Or something.
To recap, I asked you:
“Do you ever read a blogger who never reads you? If so, how do you feel about [...]
