I hope you will come celebrate with me!


I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! I was thrilled to wake up on Monday morning to find an article about The Nita & Zita Project on the front page of the Brookline HUB!

When he played football last year, I secretly called him Ferdinand, the bull who would rather smell the flowers in the field than fight in bullfights. I often worry about raising my gentle son: how will I keep him…
We had such a magical morning. After retrieving the stuffed goldfish Henry was swishing in the toilet bowl, I turned on some beautiful classical music and set up the watercolors.
