About Me
- Alice Garbarini Hurley
- Montclair, New Jersey
- My name is Alice and I've been writing for most of my life--first, in a little green five-year diary my friend Lorraine gave me for Christmas in 6th grade, then for newspapers, magazines, websites and companies. I've been blogging here, often daily, since Feb. 2010, trying hard to write truthfully, even when it's scary. My husband and I are both freelance writers, so sometimes we can afford salmon for dinner and sometimes we can't. We have two daughters, one (blog name Figgy) an artist and biologist studying cyanobacteria algae and one teenager to whom we are legal guardians (blog name Punch/Skippy). Our days range from sunny to sad, successful, sweet or funny. Reach me at alicehurley@aol.com.
Hang in there, Alice. I was pretty unbearable at 12, thank goodness my parents were a steady, loving force - just like you and Dan.

Thanks, Liz. I can't imagine you being unbearable. I guess that's what parenting, and life, provides--a chance for us to rise to be our best. Yes, Dan and I are working together to do right. It is hard but we will keep the faith. Meanwhile, how is your new work going? I am very proud of and impressed with you. Love, Alice
