I always take pictures of myself from at least 6″ above my head or with my head slightly tilted down so that you don’t see my double chin. I make my kids reenact something they just did so it looks better on instagram. Like 4 times if necessary. I make sure that when I tweet [...]

I was born in a small town…were you?

I spent the weekend in Artesia, New Mexico. It’s a suburb of Roswell, NM. 30 minutes outside of Roswell you will find a blue collar, refinery working group of Americans.

You can’t jump higher without, in moments, falling harder. You can’t sing better without in moments, sounding terrible. You can’t run faster without, in moments, walking slower. You can’t speak better without, in moments, not making sense to anyone. You can’t write better without, in moments, writing crap. You can’t love harder without, in moments, [...]

Let your kids bring the change in your life you want to see in theirs.

The conversation went something like this… “Babe. Look at Sohaila! DIVA! I mean seriously. She’s got it. She is soooo me! I love it.” “Yea. So how are we gonna fix that?” Ali responded.
