I like to wear my big girl pants when I go to…

By · Comments (1)

The doctor’s office. And lately I have been seeing the insides of quite a few of them. Why are doctors still using shag rugs and clown paintings to decorate their spaces? I expect that in a shrink’s office…just in case you are not feeling completely unloved and emotionally detached from the world around you.  Get over your ex-husband or Clownie will get you.

The Big Girl Pants Club

Where do I start?

Go to my funny dermatologist and we solve all the world’s problems. On one of his walls, right next to an illustration of a nasty looking skin whatever (I don’t use the word p- – - ple – one of those words on my DO NOT  USE List), is  a cool B&W photograph of a dog sitting on a horse that he shot while in Ireland. I then realized that my doctor can afford to travel. Right now I can’t. I am not feeling the love anymore. So he checks out this lump and cuts it out. Looks suspicious. Read More→

September Mourn: 2001- 2011

By · Comments (4)

I wrote this poem right after September 11, 2001. It felt like my heart was ripped apart and 10 years later, the pain still feels so raw and exposed.

I don’t understand that kind of hate.

But today, I am reposting the last poem I wrote. Will I write another? I don’t know and part of me does not care. September Mourn was my chance to let it out all over the paper. When I read it, it makes me cry. Not because I am such a great writer, but because I have lost a little of my innocence.

I love New York.

The Fitting Room

By · Comments (0)

I met Furahi about six years ago at a women’s retreat that I attend every year in Connecticut. From the day she stepped into our Spiritual Babes group, Furahi has brought so much energy, fun and passion to our weekends in the country. When I am around her, I feel a bit anemic.

One thing I know about Furahi is that she is going to make a positive change in our world. And she has already started with The Fitting RoomTM.

Please take a read and see how Furahi and The Fitting RoomTM plan to change the lives of our teens and even if you don’t have a teen, read on and discover how we can give all the kids out there a real chance to make it in the world today.

Furahi Achebe, the founder of the Fitting Room

Hello, everyone, I am Furahi Achebe. Elizabeth has allowed me to take over her blog to discuss a project that is dear to my heart and vital to the future of America in an intensely competitive global economy. It addresses a thorny, persistent problem that is keeping people who truly care about our most precious resource—our children—awake at night. Read More→
