Botox-Giving Mom Loses Custody Of Beauty Queen Daughter

Last week, I ranted about Kerry Campbell, the mother who went on Good Morning America to defend her decision to give Botox to her 8-year-old beauty queen daughter Britany. (Read my rant here.) I felt very strongly that giving your child Botox and having her legs waxed constitutes child abuse, and I suggested that Child Protective Services should get involved. (And most of you agreed.)

Well, according to this article (and this one from The SF Chronicle), the heartbreaking but hopeful news is that they have. Britany has been taken away from her mother into CPS custody. Lara Spencer said, “I've spoken with someone very close to the case. She is out of her mother's home. She's doing well. The case is under investigation by CPS and we should have new details within a week. But the main thing here -- she's doing well."

Oh, my electric breast pump,
My enemy, my friend.
How I yearn for but also dread

Finding Joy in the Midst of Pain

Kimberly Wencl, June 13, 2010

Sometimes when we feel like the world is caving in upon us and we are lost and alone and vulnerable, The Universe steps in to show us that we are never alone. I have had many such experiences, but none as powerful as the one that occurred on August 30, 2006. It changed my life forever and showed me that nothing can separate us from those we love.

I Don't Have to Be Ordinary

Mama Knows Best!

My husband has his PhD and his brother is a lawyer. A couple of years ago, I was having a phone conversation with my mom. I was sharing the news that my brother-in-law had just graduated from law school. Her response went a little something like this:

“Wow, H (my mother-in-law) must be very proud. I wonder how she would feel if she had ordinary children like mine.”

A Tribute to Childless Mommies: You Don’t Have To Have Kids To Mother

Mother’s Day is Sunday. As an OB/GYN, I know this can be a tough day for women who have been unable to conceive, lost pregnancies, had abortions, adopted, or chosen not to reproduce. With all this talk about motherhood floating around - Mother’s Day brunches, kids making shell necklaces, and flower displays at the local grocery store, you may be feeling…well…left out.

Pinkies, it is my honor to introduce to you (straight from The Pink Community) Kellie Robinson. Having known Kellie since High School, watching the life she's led (through social media,) and then reuniting on a more spiritual level in the Pinkdom; it is no surprise the intense sensation of interconnectedness is present no matter the roles we played in our adolescence. Thank you Kellie for bringing your story of reigniting our inner flames to the surface. Through sharing your truth, others will be inspired to share theirs; no one could have said it better. -- Megan Monique

My Pink Intuitive Reading With Caroline Bobart

Lissa Rankin, September 15, 2009

Hiya Pinkies. Almost three weeks have elapsed since I experienced my Pink intuitive reading from Mojo Mentor Caroline Bobart. Usually, when things happen, I write about them instantly. It’s almost as if writing something makes it real for me. But this time, I needed time to process what I experienced.
