Description: Loves cats, writes mysteries.
People are always interested in how to make money as a writer. I’m the wrong person to ask because I’d be writing if I were the last person on Earth after the apocalypse. But I do hear things, so here goes:
According to the media, Mother’s Day is a time to buy, buy, buy! Though meant to celebrate mothers, it too often leaves us feeling left out or disappointed. When we don’t receive those floral bouquets, brunches at expensive restaurants, and other gifts, we ask ourselves what we did wrong. Why doesn’t our family extol us like the families on TV? Spoiler: It’s not us—it’s them, the advertisers, playing on our heartstrings to sell their products.
Mother’s Day can be a difficult time for other reasons as well. For those of us who have lost a mother, who have lost a child, who are not able to have children, or who chose not to populate an already-overpopulated world, the day can be melancholy.
