Hi Alanis-

So sad to hear this–
Succinct words.
Her work was so profound and was helpful to me along my journey.

It was such a fantastic show at the House of Blues in Boston!
And I was beyond excited and happy to meet you before the show!!
Truly a pleasure and a lifelong dream come true:)
Thank you for all you have […]

PS-look forward to seeing you in Boston in October at the House of Blues!

Hi Alanis!
So loving the new album and even more seeing you enjoy this special time!
A very exciting time for us fans as everytime is when an album of yours hits the shelves:)
I am hooked on Guardian, Empathy […]

A great interview–I finally found a minute to watch in entirety- Love the comment about the ‘wink’ between you and your fanbase. What a nice way to see your relationship w/ your fans–love it!! It’s true–it is a connection for sure. One just doesn’t quite get that wink w/ Madonna or Rhianna, etc, despite enjoying [...]

Lovely reflection! Alanis, never for one minute underestimate your many solid, sturdy bricks and mortar you have layed to pave the road for women. We had MTV the minute it came on in ’81 and I watched Carly Simon, Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, Sinead O’Connor all laying their bricks and mortar… and they too probably [...]

Excellent article!
SPOT ON:)

Happy Bday Alanis! Thanks for your fantastic interview on Attachment Parenting– you came across so intelligent and non-judgemental. I teared up a bit when you answered her question about the longest you’ve ever let your son cry- We have been so responsive from day 1 of our daughter’s life–it has made for a very peaceful [...]

I am loving this discussion, btw. Very M.Stewart-ish! I discovered these at a Holiday cookie exchange 4 yrs ago–a friend at the party had just had her baby and had zero time to bake–so she made and brought these… and her cookies won by a landslide! If you want a ridiculously easy, but really good [...]

Hi Alanis– I love this entry… On the Transitioning to Motherhood discussion w/ Sheryl Paul last Fall, I was really struggling w/ how to do this attachment parenting while still keeping my own O2 mask on… My daughter is now 16 months and I am just now really seeing the free space that is opening [...]

Happy New Year Alanis! I am thankful for SO much this past year (as every year I honestly feel). 2011 marked the first year with my beautiful daughter and first full year of Motherhood. Loving it and making sure to make each day count in how I parent her, how I teach her, how I [...]

Another beautiful read… Our paths have been similar in that we both had previous engagements that didn’t go as planned (phew!!). My situation ended in early ’06–I was so heart-broken despite it being my decision to realize this would not be a good fit for me. I was shell-shocked, certain I would be single the [...]

Hi Alanis- Beautifully written… Enjoyed your thoughts on the growing up, on wanting someone to step in, pat our heads, etc. My daughter is now 12.5 mos and I have days where I wish someone would step in and care for ME! But me, accountable matriarch (as you poignantly put it), steps up to the [...]
