I read Sarah’s blog today. I stand with her as she chooses to stand alone, claiming the truth of her own experience. There are those among us who have been victims. There are those among us who are perpetrators. There are those among us who would prefer to think that neither exist; that we are over-reacting, or blowing things out of proportion or ...

Monochromatic World
It’s one of those days that those of us who know snow, know well. It’s been snowing for almost 18 hours and the world has become the page that this monochromatic message is written on. Last night, I lay in bed and watched tiny snow flakes fall like a wall of frozen rain. Against the night sky, the background was lit by street lamps, making everything ... Continue Reading >>
Completions and Fresh Starts
I blinked - and almost 10 days went by.

Sarah has done what it takes. She has reached out to people who can work with ... Continue Reading >>
Cleaning house
For the last few months, I have been aware of this pressure, this need, to cleanse…or empty…or clean out. I am mindful of how full my closets are, my shelves are, my house is, my life is, my body is with ‘stuff’ that has accumulated over my lifetime. It is not that these things did not serve their purpose or, in their time, did not bring me great joy. Nor ... Continue Reading >>
Women and self-silencing: ENOUGH!
I read Lori's latest blog entry on 'Speaking Up....Speaking Out'. There are far too many places in the world where women are legitimately in grave danger when they give voice to their own thoughts. Making a simple request or declining to engage in some way will get you killed. Fortunately, for most of us, this country is not one of those places. Perhaps ... Continue Reading >>
