We’re going to see lots of posts today about some fabulous and inspiring women and girls.
Here are some of my own (writer) heroes.

National Women Physicians Day 2020
I celebrate my mom every day by honoring her example.
For Macy
What are the things I carry? It’s an amalgam of treasured childhood moments, intimidating med school and residency moments, and an awful lot of both regrets and happiness that involve each of my kids, including, of course, my Macy though she passed away.
New Year, New Books
Every New Year’s Day, my Lola (grandma) would hold a raffle.
Holiday Family Traditions
When I was little, my mom would get a few new Hallmark ornaments every year. Our ornaments were handmade school projects and a mish-mash of gathered ornaments from years past, and I loved our tree very much.
The Wand
I have a hard time letting things go. In my heart.
So it may come as no surprise to you that I’m still mourning Little Lion’s wand.
OC/IE Walk to Remember 2019
Mini Me was a precocious two-year old, and she pulled me and my husband through the muddy, tangled, dredgy waters that is the thing we call GRIEF.
Re-learning Things with our Children
I’ve had many thoughts about re-learning things alongside my children.
Ah, this is when I’ll relearn about the American Revolution. (I didn’t. Though I learned more than I did the first time around.)
This is when I’ll learn all the state capitols. (I did, mostly.)
This is when I’ll learn about ancient civilizations or re-learn about the missions. (Nope.)
Doctor Bookworm turns THREE!
Doctor Bookworm (the blog) is 3 years old! We’re celebrating with a three book giveaway.
Love at First Sight
I believe in love at first sight. We all fell in love with her, instantly.
Playing It By Ear
Sometimes we tend to over schedule our kids’ days. And sometimes I’m guilty of under scheduling. But like a wise parent said to me a few weeks ago in the office: our kids need to be bored. It’s summer.
When Sadness Is At Your Door
How often do I talk about SADNESS with my patients? Every day.
Milestones: Telling Stories
Is telling stories a milestone? You bet it is!
I'm a Physician who did NOT get into med school
I woke up this morning realizing that it’s been almost 20 years since I was accepted to med school off the wait list. I like to call it my last minute decision to go to med school but it was anything but last minute.
Dear Mom
Happy Mother’s Day 2019 <3
