Ariel Gore Gives Birth
If you haven’t heard already, Ariel Gore, author of The Hip Mama Survival Guide, just had a baby boy!
When I became a single mom in 2002, author Ariel Gore was my hero. She chose the path of single motherhood at age 18 to her daughter Maia, who’s now off to college. At age 37, Ariel and her partner have welcomed Maximilian Cosmo.
In Ariel’s column for Skirt, she says:
A few years ago, my grandmother told me a secret: “I look old,” she said. She was 85. “My body feels old. But a person’s core never changes. At my core I’m the same as I was at 18.”
I’m only 37, but I feel the same way.
One of my favorite all-time Gore Books is Atlas of the Human Heart, when she packed her backpack at age 19 in Palo Alto, CA and left home for China with a copy of her I Ching.
If you were inspired by Ariel Gore and her writing, please write in and tell me why!
