I have a history of grand larceny. I stupidly shoplifted when I was a teenager. You know, the stealing on chap stick when you have money in your pocket. Let’s not even talk about the early 90′s. I was a walking after-school special. When I was a new mother I learned the horror of lifting the baby out [...]

i’m getting a tattoo
On the trip I’m planning to Tampa I’ve made time for certain things. The kids have busy schedules to see friends. I’ve got plans to shore up my hug supply. Friday, April 6, 2012 at 7:00 PM at The Rack There are places we can’t wait to go. Things we’re looking forward to doing. People [...]

the words i have
There are certain things I had to learn to do to keep writing. I’ve never been one to be great with imagery. My words were plain and simple. My style is almost stark now. I have to keep the look very minimalistic because my vision can’t handle too much action. Instead of telling you how [...]
just in pictures
There are certain limits to the things I can do and see. From a hotel room, but never basking in Poseidon’s glory. I have to close my eyes and imagine the feel of the wind in my hair. My soul knows the earth’s whispered secrets are forbidden to me. There are destinations where the word [...]
it’s still me
I’ve had a bunch of medical stuff going on. Surgeries on my eyes scheduled, still getting things under control. I wish I could say there would ever be a day I was DONE. But this process seems endless. Some things are better. Some things are the same. It’s all still me. I’m trying to raise [...]
perfectly me
I wonder who I am. Not in that existential WHY ARE WE HERE kind of way. Am I still the person I was? The hot mess of my teen years. The fun-loving party girl from my pre-children days. The struggling, confused young wife with babies. The woman who began to come into her own. The [...]
balls!
INTRODUCING THE GREAT ANISSINI! FAMOUS ACROSS THE LANDS! SOUGHT FAR AND WIDE FOR HER INCREDIBLE SKILLS! WATCH HER JUGGLE FIFTY BALLS AND NEVER DROP ONE! All while she bakes a pie and burps the “Star Spangles Banner” in Spanish. There are days ans times I feel that pressure more than others. In asking myself, there’s [...]
i went to #BlogHer11, part 1
I spent the last months planning for BlogHer and our party. They’re both finally over. The party is a post all to itself. But I’ll give you a hint: ANTWAY! The conference was in San Diego and it was one of those amazing chances to say THANK YOU to the people that have been such [...]
Dear @BlogHer attendees & non-attendees
Dear people going to BlogHer, NOT going to BlogHer or wondering “WTH is BlogHer?”, Last year, Peter and I got on a plane and flew to NY to be at my first event post-strokes. NY was loud, it smelled funky and being able to be there was glorious. Being anywhere was glorious. Since that time [...]
own your nap
“You need to own your naps again.” Pete said this other day when we were talking about a lot of things that needed SOMETHING. I have this site and Aiming Low that I’m building up. 25 writers I love talking to each day. We’re organizing events at BlogHer and TypeAParent. The freelance thing I do. [...]
sometimes you need to go blind to see
Rachael sat on my glasses. My mom would turn red at the curses that mentally came out of me at having crooked lenses and arm pieces that snagged my hair. I went to BlogHer. I wore them every day. I ate at a Atlanta meet-up. I finally couldn’t stand it anymore. They were crooked and [...]
what you do when people think they know you
Of all the things I worried about, coming face-to-face with so many people I have known from BEFORE ranked at the top. They saw me running around with wind in my hair. Smiles broad on my face and always ready to pose for a picture. On the floor, on my knees, everywhere. How do you [...]
About Anissa
Erma Bombeck said something that pretty much defines my approach to life.... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." If you switch the word TALENT for LOVE or LAUGHTER or HAPPINESS....it still stands.
