I didn't consult my husband, Jim, because he's not exactly charmed by my fledgling ideas. A life partner can't do everything, after all. I phoned my sister Kathy and mentioned I have an Inner Brat who basically says, "No way!" to everything I've decided to do that's good. Make it stand out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/350ca08c-85ae-4288-a7cd-377177f493dd/DALL%C2%B7E+2025-03-06+08.41.37+-+A+whimsical+illustration+of+a+small+pile+of+scattered+toys+placed+entirely+at+the+bottom+of+a+carpeted+staircase.+The+toys+include+a+metal+dump+truck%2C+copy.png Blog - Inner Brat - His impish expression reminded me of when Bill and I, who were born just two months apart, were about three years old. We were at our grandfather's house, a grand, rambling kind of home, complete with a hidden staircase we used to slide down on the seat of our pants, making a racket that echoed throughout the house. On this day, we were playing, unsupervised, at the carpeted staircase near the front entrance. Bill and I decided it would be fun to make a boobie trap. Oh, we were excited. At the bottom of the stairs, we piled a metal dump truck, a few balls, a Raggedy Ann doll, an assortment of wooden blocks, and whatever other toys we could find. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/9a3023f3-c538-4623-b951-376dcdbc9f36/IMG_7969.jpeg Blog - Inner Brat - Sometimes I think it would be nice if he were more of a warm, fuzzy sort of guy, always offering bear hugs and assuring me he's my safe harbor. But that's fleeting. He keeps things interesting. And the truth is, he may have an Outer Brat, but inside a Sweetheart is driving his actions. So now, maybe our Inner Brat and Inner Sweetheart will get to know one another. I think they'd make an ideal pair. https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/the-things-you-think-of-during-physical-therapy monthly 0.5 2025-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/9c943def-52ed-42d8-af91-58482afa08c5/a0d4be64-c22c-4d39-9f6b-c03ff0397daf_378x485.jpg Blog - The things you think of during physical therapy Most of the exercises get me standing or sitting up straighter than usual.

He published books that combined Catholicism and popular psychology in ways that people found accessible, and his books sold in the millions. He traveled throughout the country, and sometimes internationally, giving retreats and seminars. During the early ‘70s, he would take my sisters and me to dinner near Loyola University in Chicago, where he was on the faculty. He encouraged us to order lobster and steak.

Okay, maybe not quite. There was a spot somewhere in the final third of the book where I wondered why Allende was going into so much detail about something that didn’t move the story along or enhance character development. But I can’t find that spot now, and it was the only place where I was pulled out of the story.

Life as a wife: Just like Emmylou - The office holiday party was so much fun: great people, yummy food, lots of laughter, much of it from the gift exchange. You never know what you'll find beneath the festive wrapping. Jim got a box of See's Candy. I went for something more mysterious to my eye. Here's what I got. Funny, he won't swap with me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110987829-99ZIQQAAHG853IBBLOKY/1620802_10202892892037700_8692688626861834844_n.jpg Blog - Life as a wife: Just like Emmylou - My Jim just a smidge irritated with me for taking a picture instead of holding the ladder steady. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110986931-37JIM8IPFQJ7CHQ8M5ZL/10703890_10202585461272123_2669956785263387812_n.jpg Blog - Life as a wife: Just like Emmylou - Jim just came home, saw me working away at my desk, paused to stroke my hair, which I stopped coloring about seven months ago, and said, "Your hair is beautiful. You are beautiful, like Emmylou Harris." Oh, he's a keeper, that man.

She jumps into projects with wholehearted enthusiasm and follows her muse with an infectious zeal. I was delighted when she submitted her memoir excerpt Scrambled Eggshells to the Sisters Born, Sisters Found: A Diversity of Voices on Sisterhood anthology. And I believe her humor and zest shine through in this interview. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110974872-WXU4P26K9NXGVU9VPL7T/41VHqa61UEL._SS300_.jpg Blog - Jean Wong: A fetching mix of depth and humor - 2. You recently published Sleeping with the Gods, a collection of imaginative short stories in which human characters encounter present-day incarnations of ancient Green and Roman gods and goddesses. What gave you the idea to write this book? Did it require a lot of research? Were you surprised by anything during your research and writing? How long did it take you to go from concept to published book? I was in a writing group where we were assigned specific themes. One week the subject was “Mercury.” Some people wrote about the element Mercury and others wrote about the actual Greek god. When I learned about his thievery, mercurial nature, and love of music. I thought, “I used to go out with a guy just like that!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110979748-Y4OJWAUE732D2OG4E1XG/Sisters-prelim-cover-v2-460x684.jpg Blog - Jean Wong: A fetching mix of depth and humor - 3. Scrambled Eggshells, the memoir you contributed to Sisters Born, Sisters Found: A Diversity of Voices on Sisterhood is adapted from a longer memoir in progress. What is that memoir about? Is it book length? What do you think people will gain from reading it? The memoir will be pretty much a range of stories from childhood through my adult life. Each story is a stand-alone pieces and has its own narrative development and arc similar to a work of fiction. The stories are about family, discovery, luck, friendship and folly. It should be about 30,000 words and hopefully people will think: “Hey that sounds like the same dumb thing I once did!” 4. Scrambled Eggshells touches on your experience of attending a school where most of the students had backgrounds quite different from yours? What was challenging about this? What did you gain from this experience? https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/fiction-2/jennie-marima-capturing-lifes-poignant-moments monthly 0.5 2022-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110983544-N4GG7EU4OQRB7NT37A8K/J.Marima.jpg Blog - Jennie Marima: Capturing life's poignant moments - Her Sister's Keeper, Jennie Marima's submission to Sisters Born, Sisters Found: A Diversity of Voices on Sisterhood, zipped all the way from Kenya to California in an instant—one of the blessings of today's connected world. Jennie has been writing for a long time but has been a bit shy about creating a presence on the Web. I'm delighted this interview will now be available for folks who want to know more about her.

Why did you submit a story to Sisters Born, Sisters Found? What hopes do you have for the anthology? I had just finished writing the story when I saw the call for submissions. Since I hadn’t any immediate plans for it, besides getting it out of my system, I was excited that it seemed a perfect fit for the anthology and was thrilled that it was accepted.I believe this anthology will bring to light the universality of our experiences. That we all laugh and cry. We hope, we love. We hurt and heal. From all corners of the globe, we feel these things. Black, white, rich, poor. That we are human first, before we are anything else. 5. What are you working on right now, and how can people learn more about your work?I am currently trying to finish a novella that seems to have stalled.I have been surprisingly shy about my writing. (Lord knows why!) I use my little-known first name, Jennie, on all of my writing. I am like two people in one. There’s the mysterious, faceless writer and then there’s the other me, the one people know—your everyday girl, daughter, sister, friend and colleague.. But this question makes me think maybe I should create a blog or some other platform to showcase my work. I guess it’s no fun if I kept it all to myself. https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/memoir/karen-degroot-carter-deft-inclusive-wise monthly 0.5 2022-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110984132-X3X5RZUPREMXVIRW5YDS/Karen_crop4.jpg.opt141x141o00s141x141.jpg Blog - Karen DeGroot Carter: deft, inclusive, wise - I've had the pleasure of getting to know Karen DeGroot Carter because she contributed Barbie-girl, a short memoir, to the Sisters Born, Sisters Found: A Diversity of Voices on Sisterhood anthology.

Barbara has an eye for just the right details to bring scenes to life, as well as a tender yet powerful way of conveying emotions in a simple turn of phrase. She and I have followed each other's blogs for the past few years, and I was delighted when she submitted her memoir vignette to Sisters Born, Sisters Found: A Diversity of Voices on Sisterhood. barbbio-3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110979482-Y1HUW0IW5Q1283HNU8CG/4730926877_c5ba6f60d9_m.jpg Blog - Barbara Toboni: melding poetry and prose https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110980352-HYLDHRHIJYMWICUZT6YQ/Unknown-1.jpeg Blog - Barbara Toboni: melding poetry and prose Unknown-1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110979748-Y4OJWAUE732D2OG4E1XG/Sisters-prelim-cover-v2-460x684.jpg Blog - Barbara Toboni: melding poetry and prose https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/interview/ruth-stotter-five-questions monthly 0.5 2022-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110981328-Y8GC389PMBKAWE2VHIKT/Unknown.jpeg Blog - Ruth Stotter: brilliance in motion - I'm thrilled the first interview is with Ruth Stotter, a master of live storytelling who founded the Dominican University Certificate-in-Storytelling program.

The tragic events of the girls’ lives aren’t over, unfortunately. The abuse they experience as they grow and confront of the truth of their mother’s death and their father’s choices can be painful to read. Yet it’s worth persevering, because the book ends with Laura and her sisters finding strength and peace in adulthood. https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/book-review/an-absorbing-tale monthly 0.5 2022-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110935128-4I0GDOYTNNMLKZBK15K9/51w4vqjqWRL._AA115_.jpg Blog - An absorbing tale https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/fiction-2/flash-fiction/it-gives-my-life-meaning monthly 0.5 2022-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110848512-OHLYI114UE51U83L06QL/images5-150x150.jpg Blog - It gives my life meaning https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/fiction-2/flash-fiction/give-it-some-time monthly 0.5 2022-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110847909-JCPRX07IPMKUPOKHDQFG/images3-150x150.jpg Blog - Give it some time images https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/fiction-2/flash-fiction/the-one-he-always-wants-to-hear monthly 0.5 2022-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110847709-S4EO8BED7F67U85M3MK5/images2-150x150.jpg Blog - The one he always wants to hear https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/fiction-2/flash-fiction/double-rainbow monthly 0.5 2022-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110847509-X3RM464XE0A5FRI4BOB3/images-150x150.jpg Blog - Double rainbow https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/fiction-2/flash-fiction/he-needs-a-friend monthly 0.5 2022-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110931078-4F5PRQF239BJPW0TC2OF/images3.jpeg Blog - He needs a friend https://www.lauramchaleholland.com/news/reversible-skirt/a-stunning-review-of-reversible-skirt monthly 0.5 2022-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d81b945b52bd0210b409bb/1643110929843-NTGE8GAARF1SCWSR2JBB/Reversible_Skirt_front-cover-web.gif Blog - A stunning review of Reversible Skirt - I stumbled upon this review of my memoir, Reversible Skirt, on Goodreads.

We don't even have our tree up yet. All our decorations are still in boxes in the garage. I need the old shoemaker's elves to come tonight while I'm sleeping and work some magic.

She is thinking of adding some subtle color to it. I can hardly wait to see what she does next. This isn't proportional to the dimensions of what the actual book will be (this looks like a 6x9 cover, and the book will be 5.25 x 8), so there will be less of the lower part of our mother's picture, which, I believe, will be a good thing. I think the picture of our mother ghosted in the background is so fitting, but maybe it should be a bit lighter. In the next version, I expect we'll dispense with the notice of the RockWay Press award, too. What do you think? Isn't Kathy brilliant?
