My name is Susan. And my heart walks around outside my body in this blog, as Kerry is my daughter and Kelsey is my first grandchild and the one I know the best - and sometimes the least.
Kerry, I hope you know that none of the friends who will read here are expecting perfection from you. Each of us can only do our best at that moment, and hopefully improve as we go along. We love you and want to do everything possible to support you.
I'm not perfect...and neither are my kids
Ripping off the band-aid First things first, this blog has served as a beautiful tool to keep friends and family updated on this crazy rollercoaster thing we call life and it has been a lot of fun. Thanks to anyone and everyone who's ever stopped by for a peek. Secondly, my true inner monologue ...

I would have just deleted your comment on the basis that it is mean spirited and nasty but I'm not into that, either in comments or anywhere.
But when I rethought it I decided that it's the perfect opportunity for me to say something about my philosophy.
One of the great things about this country is that we have freedom of speech, "Joe." Both of us can tweet or blog or voice our opinions in whatever way we wish.
Another option is that we can just not listen to those who annoy us or make us want to throw stuff at the computer.
Apparently I don't follow your tweet stream or I'd know that you're not a fan, so that's probably good. And although that it's a shame that you feel that way, my suggestion is that you unsubscribe from my tweetstream, turn on Maddow or Oberman and you'll forget about this unimportant old cancer patient grannie by tomorrow. Why the heck do you bother?

I'm so glad you wrote this, especially that you talked about your own experience with writing and the sadness that descended around you - and a lot of us - when the cult of popularity threatened to change our reason for writing and in many cases discouraged us and caused us to jump off the hamster wheel.
We're living through a really difficult time. Voices that share experiences from their hearts as well as their heads seem even more valuable to me now. It's a gift that you're not among those who jumped ship in the blogoshere.
To Blog or Not to Blog? That is the Question
For the past six months or so, I've contemplated shutting down my blog. I've done a great deal of soul-searching about my motivation for doing it and whether or not it's worth it to me to continue. I might be fine to just turn what I normally put on my blog into a series of endless tweets or F...
Why throw a word like Dwarf in the title as if that dwarfism is an insult? If we want to do good work, lets do it for all, including people with genetic issues.

Although at first blush I thought I'd find this guy unlikeable, in reality nothing he says is hateful or untrue. He seems like a patriot, not a bigot.
On the other hand, the interviewer was absolutely obsessed with how many people Wilders was talking about perhaps being problematic and did not seem to have a clue that this is a growing issue and that it wasn't like you could stand people in a row and count them.
WILDERS: STOP THE ISLAMISATION OF OUR COUNTRIES, STOP MASS IMMIGRATION
We should listen to Wilders. The State department is importing whole Muslim communities from the most dangerous Islamic countries. What are we importing? Why? Referring to his Freedom Party’s recent success in the European parliamentary election, he said there were an increasing number of “norma...
Curt, Woe is me - the five finger shoe folks don't know I'm a weblebrity, so never offered me a pair! Don't they understand the power of giddy cancer patients tweeting about their product? :)
Update: Five Finger Shoes give me the - er - um -
Though I sent a note to Vibram about those shoes you either love or hate, repeating essentially what I said in my earlier article about how I thought they might make cancer patients feel better - the five finger folks seem initially unimpressed. I got a polite "dear John" esque letter in retur...
