Chattanooga Times Free Press columns:
 
In May 2002 I joined the Chattanooga Times Free Press as one of four women in a rotation for a column entitled "My Life." I had the dubious honor, having just turned 40, of being the spokesperson for My Life: Forties (the others are My Life: 20, 30, and 50). My columns have focused on everything from in-law differences, renovating a house, picking up stray dogs, how we know we are happy, marriage, childlessness, and work My only hope is that in forty more years I will be writing Life at Eighty.
