My name is Desiree Herrera and I am 57 years old. I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, raised in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, and now live in La Jolla, California. Most importantly, though, I am Godmother to Devon. As I recall my childhood, I would categorize it as pretty normal outside of my parents’ divorce when we…
Listen to the Audio Version Instead: Who knew a blank white page could be so daunting? Where do I begin? How do I write something that will adequately explain the impact my mom has on me? I suppose I’ll start by mentioning something I’ve written in every Mother’s Day card for the last seven years……
As a collective, we root for love, don’t we? In the end, that’s the bond that unites us more than anything. Or, at least that’s what I’d like to think. Love is what some of the most popular shows center around – Love Island, The Bachelor franchise, and the current hit – Love is Blind…

When I began mapping out my posts, I knew I wanted Alex writing for Thanksgiving week – her relationship…
It’s Thanksgiving, which largely means expressing thanks for that which you’re grateful. I know most of my posts have been in story form, but I think this one will be a little different because… well, because I can make it different, and for that, I am thankful. It’s my version of ‘because I said so.’…
Just so you all know, I put A LOT of pressure on myself when starting these blogs… do I jump in with a sweet ‘hey guys!’ or bust the door open without knocking, like the Kool Aid man? I suppose I prefer the latter. I was talking to some friends last weekend during Friendsgiving about…
Updated: Sep 15, 2019 A recent question to the currently small audience (1400 people) read as follows: do you have 1-2 television subscriptions, or 3+?
