Embarrassment
How to Overcome Social Anxiety
On a blog I found this sentence: “I like to keep people at a distance. Because I’m socialphobic”. I had never put it in these terms but I think it is the most beautiful definition of social anxiety that I have heard: it is all there, the social phobia, in keeping people at a distance. I was disappointed when the friends, towards whom I felt affection, with whom I seemed to be attentive, and I deluded myself that they liked me, then called me “unfriendly”. Well, now everyone knows that I’m unfriendly: woe to those who come near!

That One Time I Embarrassed Myself At My Own Poetry Reading
It was the mid-1990s. I had re-joined the Phoenix poetry community a couple of years before, having been away living, working, writing, and reading poetry in L.A. and Houston. I was thrilled to be invited to feature at a poetry reading at the Willow House. I had shared the podium with my poetry group at readings in Houston but had never featured solo before.

How Hawking Helped Me Emerge Empowered
The Shy Girl People might not believe it now, but I was once a very shy person. I was terrified of public speaking. I don’t know if it was because I was always the new girl and never felt fully at home in my classes, or what. I distinctly remember the time in my Junior year of high school English class when I had to give a talk about the poet Vachel Lindsay. I was shaking all over, my teeth chattered, and my knees literally knocked together.

#SingleMomChronicles: Regret, But Not Really
So many stipulations and unspoken rules are imposed on us single moms. Like there is a whole society dedicated to that or something. We are supposed to work full time, cook, have a clean house, be in shape, have our hair done and smile at like, all times. Come on, give me a break! That is crazy and super unrealistic. Just because there are some people in this world that call me "mom", doesn't mean I am not just a regular person. I hate feeling like I am being held to a different, often higher standard. Why? I really would LOVE to know. No one know though.
