GODSTUFF MOMMYHOOD, IN SIX WORDS Imagine writing your memoir — a story that encapsulates all of who you are, what you’ve experienced, wrestled with and loved — in six words. That was the challenge posed by Larry Smith and Tim Barkow, founders of SMITH magazine, back in 2006. They took their cue from a literary legend about Ernest Hemingway who is said to have, as the answer to a bet, written a six-word short story: “For sale: Baby shoes. Never... Read more

Last updated on: April 29, 2010 at 3:23 pm By Cathleen Falsani

A year ago today, a sick little boy from Malawi walked through the the arrivals gate at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago and became our son. This miraculous year has been so full of wonder, love, indescribable joy and staggering grace, we can scarcely fathom all that has happened.

GODSTUFF SAVE ME A GOOD SEAT IN HEAVEN, UNCLE DODI. Seven years ago, at the start of the war in Iraq and its accompanying societal discord, a rabbi friend of mine told me something that I’ve thought about every day since: “We learn the most from the people we think are the least like us.” Earlier this month, when my Uncle Dodi crossed through the veil into the eternal hereafter at the age of 74, the rabbi’s words returned to...
