The Breastfeeding Diaries (Meadowbrook Press, 2007 Kate Davis editor)

Story: “Speaking of the Milky Way” “Needless to say, the word “Milky” stayed behind in Rochester along with any naive notion I had that a parent can control what their child says! “Momma milk balls” is now just part of the lingo at our home and you know what? I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It just shows how ingenious and creative nurslings can be. There must be something very special in momma milk!”

Bare Your Soul: The Thinking Girls Guide to Enlightenment (Seal Press 2002, Angela Watrous editor)

Story: “Sex and Catholic Girls” “My true spiritual journey did not happen during our marriage-preparation class or the year of intense classes Art and I had to take I order for him to become baptized. Both were interesting experiences that taught me more about my religion, but my true spiritual journey happened while I held the hand of a so-called sinner.”

Story: “Lessons on Napkins”

“And, there were even napkin notes sent to me in college and graduate school, far away from my mother’s physical touch. Despite the tumultuous changes of college – changing majors, changing boyfriends, changing the way I looked at the world – my one constant was my mother’s encouragement, support and teachings, echoed in years of love, commitment and napkin notes.”
