Super Start To Summer: 6 Weeks To A Better You!
2SWEET LITTLE BABY JESUS, is summer, REALLY six weeks away? Oh man. What’s a busy person to do? Well, Good Enough Mother to the rescue, with a little help from my friend.
You may recall I took a quick business trip to Detroit last week to meet with some car folks and others who wanted to know more about Good Enough Mother. While I was there, I had a chance to catch up with old friend (well, not old, really) and former colleague, Jim Walker. If the name is familiar it’s because Jim was one of More >
Who Are You? 5 Reasons You Need A Personal Brand
8This morning, my friend Debbie Mitchell tweeted a piece that was in The Huffington Post, written by a friend of hers, called “Brands “R” Us; Identity Crisis in the Age of Technology. Nancy Colier is a psychotherapist, interfaith minister, writer and public speaker with a book coming out in October.
She writes in this post about recent meetings with publicists and friends, many of whom are asking her about her “brand” and social media activity. Questions like does she have a blog, does she More >
Hey Mom.. How About You Just. Say. NO?
7I’m certain those of you who are believers in the Good Enough Mother philosophy know exactly what I’m going to say about this. So let me go ahead and give you the end right now.

OWN-The Oprah Winfrey Network: 5 Ways To Fix What Went Wrong
29I know this is a little outside my usual fare but I had to write about this when I saw this item skirt across my desk. OWN, the joint venture between Oprah Winfrey and Discovery Communications, is slated to lose somewhere in the neighborhood of 143 million dollars this year (a report disputed by Discovery). But even if that figure were incorrect, it would be a stretch to call OWN, a success.

Guest Posting: Single Mothers Cause Child Abuse? You’re Kidding, Right?
6(The Head GEM will be on CNN tonight with Jane Velez-Mitchell tackling this hot topic so tune in!)
Oh sweet little, 8 pound, flesh-toned baby Jesus, now WHAT? There is a bill being introduced in the Wisconsin State legislature that in essence states that single mothers should be taught by The Child Abuse and Prevention Board that not being married contributes to child abuse.
The bill is Republican Senator Glenn Grothman’s baby. Yeah, his ONLY baby, as the senator is neither married nor a More >
What Is Success? 4 Things To Learn From Adele And Jeremy Lin
1I don’t know about you but I barely limped across the finish line last week. For some reason, last week was HARD. I had a ton of writing commitments and it felt a little like everyone was trying to take their pound of flesh out of me all at once. You know what I’m talking about. I’m sure you’ve been there too. The danger is that it’s easy to get discouraged and want to quit when your world is colored that shade of gray.
So, last night as I was watching the Grammys (and live snarking which More >
