My latest book, “This Day in the Life,” is a delightful compilation of woman’s diaries from across America…Some are funny, some sad, others inspirational…I just read about one woman who is a diversity education program coordinator from Cincinnati – In one paragraph where she explained a bit about her job, I laughed so hard I almost wet myself – felt it was worth sharing!

I hold an information session for parents whose children are going to be freshmen in the fall. Parents are so strange. I can’t believe they expect us to police their children while they are in college. “My child is allowed to have overnight guests OF THE OPPOSITE SEX?” asks an Indian father. He reminds me of my dad, overprotective and perpetually concerned. “Yes, sir,” I say. “They are eighteen.” He huffs and puffs for several minutes. It’s the opposite sex part that bothers him. I joke to myself about how my parents were so concerned about boys, while I was having sex with other girls.
