Reclaiming Me

My Path

September 18, 2011
My path C.Mom

I see a path.  It is lined with barren trees that have shed their leaves for the blanket of snow that is ready to fall.  The trees are lined up in perfect rows casting shadows on one another across the path like a fallen ladder. The bark on the trees is speckled with marks, lines,  [...]

Pie for Mikey

I turned 37 this weekend. Which is neither here nor there, because I don’t know about you, but I do not wake up on my birthday morning looking different, feeling different, or acting different. The truth is that the whole aging thing is not a big bother to me lately…..if nothing else, my advancing in [...]

Last week was an AMAZING week here at C.Mom.  Feeling like it was time to put the negative self criticism aside, so many of you took the time and heart wrenching energy to create a Things I Like About Me list.  It was inspiring. It rendered me speechless. It left a wake of empowered women [...]
