One About My Own Mom

by Erin Stokes 2 Comments

So I wanted to write a piece about my Ma.  The thing about being close to a writer is that it's almost a given that at some point YOU will be written ABOUT. Awkward! Haha.

On Motherhood, Solitude, Anonymity, and The Ocean

by Erin Stokes 2 Comments

I'm a creature of solitude. I've been so since I was a child, when I would happily shut myself in my room for hours, reading and writing to my heart's content. Before I had children, when I was in my very young twenties, I traveled the country a lot, often times alone. I once drove myself from my ... Read More »

Your Doctor Will Thank You For Exercising With Your Dog

Every year when I show up for my annual physical, I get the same intake form with the usual, standard questions, mostly asking if any of my existing information has changed, my current address, medical insurance provider, etc. But I always smile a little when I come to that line that asks how much I ...
