Early Signs that You May be Pregnant Based on Charting Alone

One of my favorite letters to receive are from women who were able to tell they were pregnant just by charting alone, even before a pregnancy test confirmed it.

When the Bees in Spring Lose Their Charm

If you’ve ever written a book, you know that it can be one of the most challenging, exasperating, and frustrating experiences. And those are the positive aspects of such a huge project.

Remember the days when you’d meet a stranger at a social event and one of the first questions you’d usually ask each other is along the lines of “And what do you do?” Who am I kidding? I don’t either. The pandemic has ended any semblance of normalcy for all of us. But stay with [...]
