Parenting Police
Today, I want to talk about the Parenting Police. What is it about parents who just feel that they can tell you everything…about what their view is on breastfeeding, on schooling, on play dates or how you should discipline your child? It seems to me there is this endless troupe of parents that just descend upon you at the strangest moments, and you feel them sort of looking at you, judging you…sort of asking themselves (at least you interpret it that way), “Why is she not breastfeeding anymore?

I thought I had done right by him. By this time, I had three kids under the age of four, and was battling chronic pain. In the year that he was in that class, I had four surgeries and seen countless specialists, all to no avail. I was overwhelmed and missed the signs….More

The Turning Point
Back in February, I made my first trip to MD Anderson and met my new cancer prevention doctor, Dr. Powell Brown. He was a soft-spoken man with kind eyes, who seemingly had nothing else to do that day other than talk to me.
