Writers Li.P.P.: June 2011
http://writerslipp.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Writers Li.P.P. Life In Penned Perspective with Lindy Chaffin Start and Pam Asberry. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. There's No "I" in Team but There is in Win! This often used quote by Michael Jordan speaks to the selflessness of belonging – not being afraid to ask for help when you need it, being there for others when they need you. It makes complete sense to see this as a win. How do we build a winning team? It’s simple, ask! Megan spoke to this in her blog on. A good friend will come bail you. Thank you fo...

Writers Li.P.P.: August 2011
http://writerslipp.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Writers Li.P.P. Life In Penned Perspective with Lindy Chaffin Start and Pam Asberry. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. From the Merriam-Webster free online dictionary. Marked by lack of steadfastness, constancy or stability; given to erratic changeableness. In yesterday's post, my blog parter Lindy described herself as "likely to change especially due to irresolution or instability." I take issue with that assertion. I have known the Unstoppable Mrs. Star. Life is short, my friends. We deserve better. Have you...

Writers Li.P.P. Life In Penned Perspective with Lindy Chaffin Start and Pam Asberry. Friday, July 29, 2011. Friday Show and Tell. Lindy - Decatur, GA. The Register Twins - Gayle and Gwyne. What are they up to? Hands raised. Big smiles if not outright laughter. Are they emulating a roller coaster ride? Did the home team just get a home run? Is there a spooky ghost on this side of the camera? What do you think? Megan - Roswell, GA. My 5-year-old's painful little toes. Pam - Dacula, GA. Links to this post.

Saturday, March 29, 2014. Fathers and their Truths and their Love and their Realities. Recently, I had a discussion with a good friend of mine about some of the recent blog posts written by fathers to their daughters about today’s ridiculous standards of beauty and about the importance of being a strong partner in a relationship, a woman who holds her partner to a high standard of respect and love. My two favorites are by Dr. Kelly Flanagan:. Words From a Father to His Daughter (From the Makeup Aisle).

Thursday, January 23, 2014. Let’s Get Real: Feeling Insecure, Tummy After Baby… and All the Rest. A while back, I wrote a post. After more than 40 years on this planet, simmering in this stew of images that I can’t possibly live up to. I have finally come to embrace and love my looks for the simple fact that they are mine, but that doesn’t mean I’m not hit with powerful. But you know what? My face is so masculine. Why do I have to have such a masculine face? But you know what? I have pretty eyes and a ge...

Saturday, July 20, 2013. Bear's Invitation To Steve Carell. A few nights ago, we asked Bear whom he would like to invite to his 7th birthday party. We're succumbing to the Chuck E Cheese phenomenon, but we have to keep the list small (we're cheap like that), so we needed Bear to really be on board with the guest list. Bear's invitation. My "typo." Sorry, Mr. Carell. Because this statement was so entirely out of any. The name sounds so familiar. A teacher from his elementary school? My name is Megan, and ...

Friday, February 28, 2014. Smile, Though Your Heart is Aching…. When that moment happens, learn from the TSA. Yes, you read that right. Learn from the TSA. And yes, I mean that. TSA The airport security people who check your stuff and your body for weapons and other nefarious doodads, such as super-scary containers of liquid that are larger than 3 ounces. I want a shoulder tag for my shirts that reads "MOM". image credit to lincaustin.com. You see, sometimes making someone else smile is the best salve fo...

Tuesday, May 21, 2013. So, I Have a Great Idea. This is yesterday’s post-school-pick-up, in-the-car conversation with my 6-year-old. That’s all the set-up this needs. And all the hyphens it needs as well. BEAR: So, I have a great idea. BEAR: You can give me maybe three hundred dollars or so, and then I can get my own iPhone with its own phone and apps, and then I won’t have to use yours. ME: Hm. Interesting. No. ME: Nope. It’s highly unlikely you’ll get your own phone for quite some time. BEAR: I want to...

Tuesday, October 30, 2012. The Little Things, from The Little People. The last several days can only be described as a pile of stress. Between friend "stuff", work "stuff", family "stuff" and trying to get ready for Halloween, things are abnormally abnormal. That's saying a lot in my existence. On top of that, a historic storm bearing my mother-in-law's name - so. My stressy time clearly. Watching my kids tonight, I realized that they hold the key to getting a handle on serenity. It's NOT. If you don't g...

Friday, December 21, 2012. The Boy Who Wanted To Marry Me. Several months ago, I wrote a couple of posts – here. 8211; about men who restored my faith in, well, men. In those posts, I explained that I’ve had doubts in the past about men’s innate ability to love… like truly, madly, deeply. Great movie, by the way) love. L.O.V.E. Oddly, these doubts have never extended to random, select men in my life, such as my dad or my husband or my Papi or Stanley Tucci. Dominick lived not far from Yonkers, I lived in...
