I went to the reading of my friend Jenny’s book “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened”. I’ve gone out of my way to hatch a plan for her anxiety disorder and she comes to Georgia is a total douche. Before you kick me in the esophagus on her behalf, give me a chance to explain. Writing [...]
some of my best friends are people
I’m a 38yo female. Some of my best friends are 38. In fact, my BEST friend iS 38yo. I love a bunch of people who are younger/older than me. I am Asian. Some of my best friends are Asian! (Coincidence, they’re just cool not a cultural thing) I have friends that represent every color and [...]
as dave matthews said, crash into me
I have these moments where my world collide. The me that blogs and talks to crowds of people circles the me that wears my pajama pants to the store. The me that plays social media roulette circle the me that once had coffee with other parents of very sick kids. Sometimes the worlds crash headfirst. [...]
leave a message at the beep
I’m here in Florida with the kids and Jackie. The girls have swam. The boy has seen “Hunger Games” with friends. I got to play a little catch-up with the faces I haven’t seen without the power of the monitors between us. I have learned to love Georgia. The friends I’ve made. The life I’ve [...]
i’m getting a tattoo

will I see you in Florida?
During the trip to Florida next week there a ton of people I’d love to see or meet but a limited amount of time. So, to make it super easy for us to get together I’ve planned a meetup in Brandon (near Tampa). Now, you’re definitely invited even if this is the first time I will get [...]
my burning brain and @BlogHer parties

you can win a pretty from @BlendCreations
It’s fun when I get to take something I find FUN and share it with you. When I get to play on Twitter it’s fun for me because it’s been part of communicating with these people who were important to me. When I was approached by Vivian of Blend Creations to wear one of her [...]
rules for meeting me
Whether it’s a conference or a meetup or just a meeting out, there are certain rules when it comes to meeting me. Well… So, let’s get down to what I like to call “Anissa’s Rules of Engagement” I can’t see you when I’m moving or far away – This might be partially fixed by the [...]
like my first time getting my Bliss on #Blissdom
It isn’t the first time I’ve traveled since my strokes. It isn’t my first conference since my wheelchair. It isn’t the first time I’ve gotten up in front of a group of people and let them see my disabilities. It won’t even be my first time at Blissdom. (It WAS my first conference in 2008 [...]
the 5 best decisions of my adult life

The question was asked: what are the 5 best decisions of my adult life so far? To stay pregnant Bungee-jumping Deciding to write it all Bread bowls Not giving up To stay [...]
a lesson taught by three heads
On the floor in front of my fireplace is the spot where neighborhood kids congregate to play. Polly Pocket. Legos. Monopoly. Whatever catches their interest that day. I’m reading something about the race differences in our culture when shouts of laughter grab my attention. And I look over. And I keep looking. I watch my [...]

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.
