Happy Mother’s Day 2016
Mother’s Day is still a bit of a bittersweet holiday for me. Even though my mother passed away 22 years ago, I still feel a pang each year when Mother’s Day cards start appearing in stores.
I owe so many things to my mom, but the two most important ones are my love of cats, and my love of books.Continue Reading

Sunday Purrs: Lessons from a Blizzard
Allegra, Ruby and I made it through the Blizzard of 2016! I admit that I don’t handle severe weather as well as I should. I get pretty anxious when weather forecast contains words like “monster storm” and “life-threatening storm” – especially when my trusted forecasters at the Washington Post, who are not known for hype, use those words. Weather anxiety is becoming a recognized psychological disorder, which is not surprising, given our obsession with the weather. Checking weather apps is the number one smartphone use.
I’m a firm believer that when life throws a challenge our way, the best thing we can do is look for the lessons.Continue Reading
