About: For all the women on the fence in life, in love, at work. It’s time to get off the fence and start living. Erica Diamond, the Publisher of this website writes “Therefore my ladies, my goal of this Blog is to unite all women. To let you all vent your frustrations about living life on the fence. It’s time to make a move. It’s time to GET OFF THE FENCE! It’s time to make up or break up. It’s time to quit your job. It’s time to enroll in medical school. It’s time to come out of the closet. It’s time to speak your truth. It’s time to start LIVING YOUR LIFE!”

About: I am a wife and mother of two beautiful kids. I survived heart failure once and am currently working to survive it once again. I have had a choice to make, and I choose to live and continue life to the best of my ability. I am not defined by the bad things in life, rather, I am defined by my reactions to them. Welcome to my crazy life, in writing, as I live one day at a time and always remember to count my blessings.

About: We cover the latest trends in fashion for infants thru 10 years old, including information on organic and eco-friendly clothing, the best places to shop for children in various cities around the nation, and interviews with celebrity children’s clothing designers.

About: What emerged was a renewed commitment to ask myself this question every morning: ‘what would I be doing today if I only had 37 days to live?’
It’s a hard question some days.
But here’s how I answered it: Write like hell, leave as much of myself behind for my two daughters as I could, let them know me and see me as a real person, not just a mother, leave with them for safe-keeping my thoughts and memories, fears and dreams, the histories of what I am and who my people are. Leave behind my thoughts about living the life, that “one wild and precious life” that poet Mary Oliver speaks of. That’s what I’d do with my 37 days. So, I’m beginning here.
