Crow's Nest: Interview With Sheryl Crow
by Sara Davidson - February 2008
ReadersDigest.com
A battle with cancer behind her, Sheryl Crow concentrates on her music, her activism
- and her new son
Successful and in control, Sheryl Crow had won nine Grammys, sold more than 30
million records and was about to marry Tour de France legend Lance Armstrong when
it all fell apart. The engagement was broken off - neither will say by whom - in early
2006, and two weeks later, Crow, now 46, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her
health crisis forced her to ''let go of the pain of the breakup'' and take care of herself.
For 20 years, Crow had ridden a high-speed train. Raised in a small Missouri town by a
father who played trumpet and a mother who taught piano, she quit her job as a
grade school music teacher when she was 24 and headed to Los Angeles. Writing and
performing her very personal, often politically charged songs, she dated stars like Eric
Clapton and Owen Wilson and was engaged three times but never married. She spoke
out against the Iraq war and global warming, even sparring with Karl Rove, the
President's advisor, at last year's White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
After her cancer diagnosis, she underwent a lumpectomy and radiation, took stock
and started making changes. She applied to adopt a child, moved to Nashville to be
close to her family and in April 2007 welcomed son Wyatt, now 11 months...(read more)

Mums braver, faster, more laid-back
by Dani Cooper
ABC - March 19, 2008
Motherhood is good for the brain, causing neurological
changes that make females braver, faster and less
stressed, a US researcher says.
The finding, presented at this week's International
Congress on Women's Mental Health in Melbourne may
lead to chemical therapies that could help make 'good'
mothers.
Craig Kinsley, Professor of Neuroscience at the University
of Richmond's Department of Psychology, says all female
mammals change some of their critical behaviours after
giving birth.
These are normally behaviours that are linked to a
mother's ability to care and protect her offspring.
In tests on rats young mothers showed better maze
negotiation skills and memory, and decreased levels of
stress and fear.
"Mothers become more protective of their offspring and
will defend against a predator twice their size," he says.
"They overcome their fear and are very capable of
defeating the predator."....(read more)

Mama-rama: Is 28 'young' to start a family?
by Meagan Francis, Columnist for NOISE - February 6, 2008
LSJ.com
Between "Juno" and Jamie Lynn Spears (Britney's 16-year-old sister and Disney sitcom
star, who recently announced that she is pregnant), it seems like young motherhood
is on the pop culture menu these days.
But how young is "young"? I was reading the Washington Post the other week and ran
across a story called "Bringing Up Babies, Defying The Norm," reporting that 28 is now
considered "young" for starting a family.
