Since The Color of Life launches into this world in less than a month, it’s only appropriate that I ramp up the book here on the blog. Feel free to share the highlighted image and be sure to preorder your copy today! — Everyday in my early twenties, I stood in front of a classroom of sixteen and seventeen year olds.

12 Books That Helped Me Color Outside the Lines in 2018

Last updated on: January 5, 2019 at 11:37 am By Cara Meredith

Up for something a bit different today? I read a lot – for my job and for pleasure, for learning and growing and catching glimpses into worlds different from my own. After all, as novelist George R. R. Martin said, “a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” If you’re anything like me, I’m guessing you want to be transported to other worlds, that you want to live a thousand lives, that you want to learn how...

Saying Sorry to the Target Lady

Last updated on: December 30, 2018 at 8:10 pm By Cara Meredith

It only took me twenty seconds to say sorry to the Target lady this time. My feet didn’t budge after she called the next person in line, maybe because I knew I needed not to move until I said what I needed to say. My eyes fixated on the counter, I stared at the cash register, willing it, hoping it would somehow speak magic words of apology for me. I wondered if the scene between the two of us could somehow...

Staring at Holiday Cards and Praying Rebel Prayers

Last updated on: December 21, 2018 at 8:08 pm By Cara Meredith

I couldn’t help but stare at the holiday cards taped above the pew bench today: each face smiling and happy, a few purposefully striking a dramatic pose intended to make the rest of us laugh. The cards were arranged geometrically, with a dash of gold and cream washi tape over the top just to add to the merriment of the season. If dining room walls could scream, mine would have been shouting the merriest of obscenities. But after browsing through... Read more

Oh, that Star-a Wonder

Last updated on: December 11, 2018 at 9:31 pm By Cara Meredith

A couple of nights ago, I lay on the floor of my four-year old’s bedroom, stack of books read, lights already out. “Mama, can we sing a song together?” He asked, requesting to sing one of the songs from his preschool’s Christmas program. As we began singing the yuletide chorus, we hadn’t made it through a single line before the little conductor stopped me. “Mama, no, no, no, no,” he said. “It’s star-A wonder, not star-OF wonder.” I mean, I may...

The Somethings of Race and Justice and Bedtime Conversations

Last updated on: December 8, 2018 at 12:07 pm By Cara Meredith

On Tuesday morning, I gathered with a group of local mamas, ours a tabletop conversation of talking to our kids about issues of race and justice. I read excerpts from my book and talked about how, as a white person, mine is a learned experience – and my entry point into the conversation primarily stems from doing my homework and understanding my privilege. But in the midst of listening and learning (and listening some more), there’s also a responsibility to... Read more
