Esquire Needs To Be More

I Grew Up In A Ukrainian Catholic-turned-christian Household, And That Is My Family's Faith.

I Was A Ukrainian Folk Dancer In My Teens, And I Toured The Country In 1991, Shortly Before The Break-up Of The Soviet Union.

It's True: I Don't Remember What Life Was Like Before Parenthood.

I Have Tender, Romantic Associations With Upstate New York.

I'm Thinking About Anything And Everything. I'm Making Stuff Up In My Head, I'm Using Sense Memory. Sometimes When It Doesn't Come And You've Got No Choice Because You're Getting Paid To Do It, You Grasp At Straws. It's Always Easy Now With My Kids. I Just Create Some "what-ifs" In My Head, Something Horrible That Would Devastate Me As A Mother.
