As a Digital Editor of Love What Matters, I'm here to pull on your heartstrings and make you smile. After spending nearly six years as a Digital Reporter for ABC News' "Good Morning America," I'm thrilled to continue sharing touching and inspiring stories that the world is so craving. We can all use more love in our lives -- now you've found the perfect place to get it.
“No one could explain to me how my seemingly perfect 15-year-old daughter was now suddenly having seizures. I was angry. I was desperate.”
“I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Crying tears of joy today for my mom, all because I sent a tweet.”
“Using our wedding-ring fingers in a ‘pinky promise,’ we made a pact and promised that we would move forward with the pregnancy and never look back, come what may.”
“I hugged her and with my head on her shoulder said, ‘Yes, mom. I am. I love you. I promise I WILL get better.’ They shut the door and told me I was no longer welcome. They did the best thing a family could’ve done. Let me fall face first and weren’t there to catch me. I was a good person with a big heart. I did good deeds for my family, friends, and community. But I was also an addict. And addiction doesn’t discriminate.”
“The food was eaten and gone that day, but the impact this had will last a lifetime.”
“On roller coasters, everyone is allowed to stim.”
Our children’s “misbehaviors” are symptoms of a much deeper problem that can’t be ignored any longer.
“I never realized how much weight I was holding by keeping my identity a secret. Letting go of that weight made me feel like, for the first time, that I could breathe easy.”
“I simply wrote, ‘This little girl needs her brother or sister. Can anyone help?’ And you know what? Someone replied.”
“I have grown up and gone to school my whole life with people who basically look like me, think like me and believe the same things I believe, and that’s not the real world.”
