Thoughts of Another Adoptive Mother, Continued

Posted on by

My last two blogs have been a review of Jana Wolff’s memoir Secret Thoughts of an Adoptive Mother and my reflections on my experiences and their similarities and differences with Wolff’s.Those reflections are continued here. I related to Wolff’s descriptions of her family—how happy they were and eager to include this new grandchild, but still recognizing something different. “Being adopted and being of color changed the way this baby was held and welcomed by his new extended family,” Wolff declares. “Ari was neither the first grandchild nor the first grandson, but he was touched with the gingerness of first-timers,” Wolff … Continue reading →

Jilted “Bachelor” Chick Does “Dancing with the Stars”

Melissa Rycroft may think Jason “The Bachelor” Mesnick is a jerk, but if he hadn’t dumped her on national TV, I highly doubt she would have been given the chance to kick it on “Dancing with the Stars.” It’s just a RUMOR… right now, but sources tell PEOPLE magazine that 25-year-old Rycroft is in fact taking the celebrity contestant slot vacated by Access Hollywood host Nancy O’Dell. According to PEOPLE, the busty brunette has had only a few days to rehearse with pro partner Tony Dovolani. However, she is expected to perform on tomorrow night’s season premiere. Shocked? I am. … Continue reading →

Love Notes: Your Top Five Romantic Moments

One of the first things I saw this morning when I got up was a video log of the top five most romantic moments in movie history. Among those moments cited included the fire escape proposal in Pretty Woman, the moment when Rose is riding on the rail with her arms outspread, trusting Jack for the first time in Titanic and the scene where Demi Moore’s character realizes that Sam is really there in Ghost and she hears him say I love you and she says “Ditto.” Romantic Moments I have to say that I agree with their choices. Those … Continue reading →

Love Notes: Romantic Locations

Do you like useless trivia? I do. The running gag in my family is that I am a fount of useless trivia and knowledge. I gather this knowledge from a wide variety of sources. I read frequently, whether it’s books, Internet sites, magazines and newspapers. I also love to watch television programs on the History channel, PBS and other documentary type stations that allow me to expand my knowledge base. So with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I sat down to enjoy a documentary on the history of Valentine’s Day. Granted, the information was not much more than what I’d already … Continue reading →

Letters of Love: Dear Lord

Our relationship with the divine is a profound one and deeply personal. How we express that relationship, that joy and duty that we pursue vigorously or quietly – that is also very personal.

Love Notes: Do You See Cupid in the Stars?

If you read my other blogs, you may be aware of some of the problems I have been experiencing in my life. As I told a friend recently, I already received one reality check this year and last Friday, I received another. Because I don’t need to be told the same thing twice, I’m getting back into the habit of living my life instead of postponing things until there’s a better time or a right time. The time we have is now and it’s time we make the best of it. What Are We Doing for Valentine’s Day? So this … Continue reading →
