Sometimes, I write something on social media, and I think, yep, this will be controversial, and almost always, my Spidey Sense is correct. To be clear, the outpouring of vitriol never stops me, but having an idea in advance that a shitstorm is on the way is helpful, so I can plan these posts when I have the emotional bandwidth and time to manage the comments section and the inevitable ad hominem attacks. But every now and then, I write something, and the attacks come right out of left field.

I have some thoughts about the abortion questions and answers at the CNN-hosted presidential debate from Thursday night (June 27). This spectacle proved that the media, or at least the ones given access to the candidates, are unfit to question Trump about anything. To them, Trump is a gaudy bauble that feeds the 24/7 outrage and fear-hungry news cycle like no other.

As I untangled each strand of story, my feelings and relationships became more manageable, and I stopped bringing my stories into ones that weren’t mine. Since I had a panic attack at the doctor's office five years ago, I’ve healed more than I ever thought possible.

Books to help you navigate love, loss, motherhood and moreI first faced death as a cold, hard slab of ice on which my grandmother lay. I was only five, unaware of the permanence of death, and that image exists in my mind, disconnected from emotion. Grief, however, hit me hard when I lost my beloved dog.
