[YML Gives Back] Inside St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital #StJudeBlogTour

I was planning on publishing a post about my recent trip to Memphis, Tennessee to tour St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as soon as I got back. But it's been two full weeks since I've returned and I'm just now posting about it because I'm still processing the amazing things I've seen. In case you don't have any idea what St. Jude does, it's quite simple: They deliver world-class care to … [Continue reading...]

Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself – My Vision For Women

I've been blogging in this space forever now (May marks SEVEN years) and from time to time I have to ask myself what I hope to accomplish here. Above all else, this space is where I became a full-fledged woman. These archives are testament to my growth and accomplishments, in spite of the obstacles and pain life threw at me. But beyond this blog as a personal document, I want it to mean … [Continue reading...]

So About That ESSENCE Magazine Feature….

I woke up today with my cell phone buzzing on my nightstand. I cocked one eye open and fumbled around for it. What is going on? I wondered. Why does it keep chiming? I then saw a bunch of Twitter notifications, congratulating me on being featured on ESSENCE's website. Even though I had completed the interview last week, it still shocked me. I sat straight up and clicked through to the site to … [Continue reading...]

NEWS: YML Is Offering Three Paid Writing Positions!

When I "relaunched" this site back in January, I had plans for one page that never went live -- "Meet The Team." My plan was to bring on a few writers to help round out the content. I need more posts from the single mom perspective. From moms still in school. From older mothers, who have guided their kids to adulthood and want to share what they've learned. I'm only one person and while I love … [Continue reading...]

It’s All Fun And Games Until Your Kids Start Reading Your Blog

It is such an amazing thing to see your child grow. I remember when I first felt her kick in my stomach (my husband assured me it was just gas). I remember when she was born and how I couldn't get a moment's rest in the hospital because everyone on staff (doctors, nurses, janitors alike) wanted to see the "Hawaiian-looking baby." I remember I was so nervous during her kindergarten testing that I … [Continue reading...]

Welcome To The New YML!

  Did I really just write a post talking about my new site four days after it launched? Why, yes. Yes, I did. Part of the reason for the delay is because I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with the space and what it's supposed to represent. Here's what I've got so far. I started this blog in 2008 because I felt like "I" was missing from the conversations about … [Continue reading...]

What Blogging Can Do For You – Webinar Replay

On July 13 I hosted my first webinar on the business of blogging and how my blogging journey evolved over the years.

Below is a replay in case you missed it or if you wanted to hear it again. We had a little bit of sound … [Continue reading...]
