Are You Listening?
My 2-year old was crying at the top of her lungs outside of my bedroom door. No one could figure how to calm her down. Does she want to eat? Is she thirsty? Does she need a diaper change? The wailing continued. She came into our room and I picked her up. I cradled her…

To Read and Be Read
I had a recent discussion with fellow writer Rebecca Frost.
