I feel privileged to share a beautiful essay by someone near and dear to me, my sister Nicole Palmer. I’ve been deep into writing about our childhood as I finish my memoir and I loved her honest perspective. I hope you find it as moving as I did. Love, Molly ONE OF THE SMART…

Being Schooled
My motto of saying yes to opportunity has led to me to show up feeling unqualified before. So I shouldn’t have been surprised when standing in front of a room of seventh graders that the little voice in my head asked me – what did you think you were going to accomplish here? I immediately said…
A New Essay
I wrote this piece last year so I decided to be brave and share it with you all. Maybe it will resonate with you… Lying to My Daughter and Other Victories “A vitamin,” I answered, before I had time to think. It was early, still dark, and I hadn’t even had my first cup of…
Molly News

It’s Not Boring
Four years ago I pulled out one of my favorite quotes from Ruth Reichl when posting about upcoming changes at our former restaurant Esquina. I find I am drawn to it again… “Moderation in all things is a mantra we’ve been hearing a lot about of late. It is healthy. It is sane. It is…
I Leave For Greece on Friday
Why would I get on a plane to travel halfway across the world from my family? To attend a writer’s salon on the island of Patmos, Greece led by Cheryl Strayed and other talented storytellers. I wrote The Decision is My Story which covers the angst I felt in making the decision to go. And now it’s…
Get It Done in 5 Simple Steps
