In My Shoes: The reluctant volunteer
I left my position as information technology manager at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in August 2010 to begin a new chapter in my life. So much of it had been spent being defined by my husband, my children or my career. I wanted to take time to learn who I was independent of my profession.

In My Shoes: Ahh, family time. Or is it Ahhhh, family time!!
It's hard to believe that it's already Thanksgiving time again. As I reflect on the typical traditions of turkey, cranberry sauce (the canned kind that slips out and retains its ridges and shape), and gathering with family, an age-old question presents itself: Is it the turkey that is really making you tired … or could it be your relatives?

In My Shoes: Class is widow's path back to life and love

Shoes: Here's to not needing 'Breast Cancer Awareness'
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Raise your hand if you know someone who has had breast cancer. Me too. In fact, I come from a family of breast-cancer survivors. Suffice it to say that I am aware of breast cancer. And I bet you are, too.

Shoes: Rant from a mom who's tired of kids' menus
As I write this, I know some moms out there will disagree with me. Thus, I'll add a caveat that, as a first-time mom, I do not proclaim to be an expert.
-
In My Shoes: Seven brothers and seven sisters
So much to say, so few words allotted to say it in, so let me begin this way: Most people's jaws drop — well, that's not quite right. The jaws of about 99.9 percent of the people I meet drop when I tell them I own a professional football team.

Sept. 25, 2010, was the day I buried my mom; Sept. 25, 2011, is the last day of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure walk in Washington. Three days, 60 miles. I can do it!

In My Shoes: Remembering Sept. 11
