Interesting, isn’t it, the way Goddesses are often portrayed as rather large and voluptuous…..mother earth, fertility and all that? What a concept, eh? When was it that the ideal shifted to flat-chested and super-skinny? Did women always feel insecure about their bodies, or did that start when fashion designers decreed that the quintessential female form [...]

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that there’s very little “dieting” significance to this picture. I’m just a very visually-oriented person. I like illustrations. And this looks sort of magical, doesn’t it? Like magic is happening? Which it is, of course. All the time, and everywhere. Look at us - total strangers who wouldn’t [...]

Hola! I found this rather amusing, seeing as how I have several things in my closet that tend to make me feel somewhat depressed as I move them off to the side knowing full well that my fat a$$ is NEVER going to get into them again. Actually, even if I could get into them, [...]

On our oneness with all that is…..
I was at a meeting in Springfield, MA yesterday - a city plagued by violence, street gangs and poverty. Not neccessarily in that order, of course. Poverty undoubtedly comes first and the rest follow after like obedient baby ducks quacking and splashing their way behind a schizophrenic mama duck [...]

Women’s unity. We can be our own worst enemies, because we don’t stick together, and we let men come between us. Really. Every woman who believes it when some guy tells her “My wife is a beotch”, or “We’re separated”, or, “She just doesn’t understand me”, or any one of the million things men will [...]

I’m back at work after an unplanned hiatus during which I “enjoyed” ill health in accordance with prophecy. No. For REAL. About two weekends back….okay, maybe three, I’m not sure…we (DH & I) were up in the
White Mountains (And who named THEM, I’ve got to ask. What’s WHITE about them? Looked green and brown to [...]

On the last leg of the journey they started a long time ago………………
So here is where we find ourselves on a bright but coolish day when everything has (more or less) fallen into place as far as life is concerned, and we just hover here, really, treading water for the most part, awaiting the next [...]

So, here I am on a Friday night at 8:05 PM sitting at my computer pecking away. DH is on the other side of the studio pecking away at his…doing real, actual art work, a course, while I just noodle around wasting time. Well, not wasting it..not really. The antibiotics seem to be starting to [...]

Oh, yeah. That would be me, lately. Sick, oh-so-sick…blah and ack. Last Thursday, which was a very hot (haute?) day indeed (I was dressed quite fetchingly, I must say) and feeling very “Power person of the female persuasion”, had aced several meetings in a row and was feeling pretty much a smart a$$ when I [...]

I did it. I booked a flight to LA for the week of November 4. By myself,unless my GF from VA can get away that week too and meet me out there. Of course she was actually born & raised out there, believe it or not. Went to school at UHawaaii, and then came east [...]
