the first time i read the book ‘roxaboxen’ to my son, i had tears streaming down my face by the end – and i didn’t know where they came from. your post stirred the same emotions.

This is beautiful girlfriend. You’re going to look back at this entry even a couple of years from now and be glad you wrote it. Hold tight to these years – they are going by so fast!

Lovely post. I thought the passionate, emotional, excitable parts of me would be patted down when I became a parent. Instead, I think that watching my son has put me back in closer touch with those feelings.

I also think shiny object infatuation is part of a journalist’s biological makeup. Whether you’ve done it for one year or thirty, having the excuse to ask anyone questions about anything that interests you is oddly liberating. And when you share information, and you’ve seen it help even one person… damn! Now that’s addictive.

I find myself thoroughly jealous as I do not find myself excited about much (besides photography) anymore. Your thoughts are inspiring, though.

I’ve been much more introspective since becoming a parent last year. It’s really weird how the mind suddenly flashes back to our childhood.

Happy early Mother’s Day!
