Mistakes Will Be Made and Other Realizations

By Every Family's Got One Founder -- Barbara Herel Image from Rawpixel.com I’m calling 2019 my year of “Being” – as in “being okay with my insecurities” and “being true to myself in all that I do.” As I look back over the year, there were three realizations that have truly helped me into Being and here they are: Mistakes Will Be Made... My mantra sets just the right tone to make me smile and keep me stretching the limits of my comfort zone. I now wholeheartedly accept that mistakes are bound to happen – that carefully [...]

Tonight’s a Great Night for Storytelling

By Every Family's Got One Founder -- Barbara Herel Tonight, the 2019 cast of Every Family’s Got One takes the stage at My Father’s Place to tell their family stories. I am so very excited for them and for the audience members who get to witness all the fun and drama firsthand. I tell you… this little dream I had of bringing together different voices to share their true family narratives – and create a supportive storytelling-writing workshop to boot – is actually happening. I’m certainly not creating all this magical goodness by myself. It takes people like [...]

A Story About Flaunting Curves and Body Image

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Molly England image by rawpixel.com My curves are an outward symbol of my inner-stress. Contrary to how the Dove ads would like me to feel—I’m not in love with them, and I certainly don’t want to show them off this summer. I know that in this enlightened, feminist-rising era, curves are symbolic of powerful women who aren’t ashamed of their bodies. My story is not one of shame... but I do feel uncomfortable in my expanding waistline and chaffing thighs. My growing size is a manifestation of mounting pressure, my struggle to cope, and a reliance on mindless eating. Self-care is on the back burner, and it shows in the tight grip of my jean shorts. I remember my first diet. [...]
