Motto: Never Loan out books; this saves energy on worrying if they’ll be returned in good condition—or at all. —Monique Gordon
Monique Gordon was raised in Philadelphia. Her nickname stems from a 1962 sitcom: The New Loretta Young Show. Loretta Young had five daughters, just as Monique’s parents did, and Loretta’s inquisitive, feisty child was named Binkie Massey. Monique’s inquisitiveness and vivid imagination appears in Binky’s Words, a mind-on, hands-on activity, poetry book. Her poetry is attributed to her parents’ fascination with books and story telling. Monique can spin a poem from almost anything: Dreams, dialogue, quotes found on fair-trade teabag tags, news headlines, and notes left by strangers. Her personal library is a pastiche of journals and books given as gifts, purchased from flea markets, sidewalk sales, independent book dealers, thrift shops, and unclaimed books found on public transit or tossed in the dumpster by their owners.

I enjoyed the article that I have read so far. My diabetes have been out of control for the last 4 months due to the disconuation on Byetta. This site had given me a renewed hope on self endocrine treatment for diabetes. Of course I will follow my insulin regiment as well as counting carbs. I just needed a push and this site did just that.
