Sunday, January 24, 2010 Me, Me, Me

I get a frazillion Google alerts a week for my name or blog (Thank you, everyone else who calls their blog “The Mommy Blog.”). Sometimes it comes in handy as something to put in my Press section; other times I begin to wonder whether I’m living to my full potential.

Here’s a roundup of what the other Mindy/Melinda Roberts’ are doing:

1. In October 2009, Peace Corps Volunteers Becca Commissaris and Mindy Roberts took a break from their village activities and went to Namibia for some fun in the sun and some sand-surfing…..
2. Assigning a short story for Wintersession 2010. ARCHETYPAL SYMBOLISM: UNIVERSAL RESPONSES TO TIME AND PLACE.
3. The Melindaville Blog chronicles the journey of Melinda Roberts Tyler as she writes and publishes her memoir, “Lost and Found,” which details her experiences as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, as a sex industry worker. [Read about her] experiences involving the sex industry, heroin addiction, recovery, and the process of writing her memoir.
4. Organizing outstanding sessions with David Lefkowitz on behalf of the American Philosophical Association’s Committee on Philosophy and Law at the Eastern Division meeting.
5. Melinda Roberts Photography: Serving all of Western Colorado and Eastern Utah, specializing in weddings, high school seniors, families, children, boudoir, proms.
6. CNN: Melinda Roberts has come up with strategies to assuage the fears of her kids Logan, 11, Dylan, 9, and Daphne, 7 on how to handle kids anxiety. Wait—that one WAS me. I believe it originally published with a misprint saying that I let my 7 year old watch Kill Bill with me. That was fun.
7. Showing my handmade quilts at Quilters Guild of Greater Kansas City Quilt Show at Crown Center.
8. Earning the Andrew Clark Hecht Public Safety Achievement Award with the Mount Rainier National Park’s climbing program.
9. And lastly, I most certainly am not Hotel operator Leona Mindy Roberts Helmsley [who] became a billionaire in 1997 when she inherited the fortune of her late husband, real estate entrepreneur Harry Helmsley worth 2.2 billions.
