Started in the Bay Area. Been working in PR for 11 years -- enterprise and consumer tech -- and have lived in a rural town in Idaho since 1998. By day I live the scrambled and fast-paced life of a comms consultant with a firm in Silicon Valley. The rest of the time I'm just a flip flop-wearin' wife and mom to two kids in a town where you have to hunt down the rare wireless connection, the only highway is two lanes, and the post office workers know me by name.

Anna Quindlen has my #



Anna Quindlen had an interesting "Last Word" n the 9.18.06 issue of Newsweek (yes, I am behind in my reading). The title is "Frightening --- And Fantastic." Basically, the point is to tell your kids about the pleasures in life too, don't just spend time warning them of all the perils.

Sure, I want to be a parent that encourages my kids to be educated and safe. But I also want my kids to really live life and not be afraid of embracing it with a big fat bear hug.

Laugh hard, play hard and live hard, my babies.

Here's the full article for anyone else interested.
