I suppose in some ways I was destined to become a control freak. I was born into a proud dynasty of control freaks. My family is Italian, and growing up it was made very clear to me that a woman’s job is to keep everyone–especially the men–in line. Not only was I the oldest child, […]
This week I read a wonderful article about our generation’s search for meaning by fellow Role/Reboot contributor Kerry Cohen.
