Appreciating the Present

Last week as M and I were enjoying an evening at a friends’ house (something we don’t do often enough), I caught a glimpse of a set of 10 little statements, mantras almost, clipped from a new agey magazine and hanging in her kitchen. My first impulse was to tease, but then I started reading […]

Where I Wish I Were Today

Today is the RESOLVE Advocacy Day in Washington DC. At least from my window, the sun is shining and it looks to be a gorgeous day. I bet there are even some cherry blossoms hanging on, waiting to be seen.
I had been secretly harboring a hope to sneak down to DC today (it is less […]

I Couldn’t Make This Up - A Response

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE OBSESSED WITH BEING PREGNANT AND IT IS NOT HEALTHY TO BE OBSESSED WITH ANYTHING. Agreed.
I have friend’s who lost EVERYTHING because SHE wanted to be pregnant so bad….a homeless shelter is no place to raise a child and that’s almost where they were. I’m sorry to hear about your friend, […]

Sticks and Stones - I Couldn’t Make This Up

I debated for a while about whether or not to accept this comment on my blog or to let it linger in the “in moderation” queue. I talked about it with Michael and his first thought was, “hey, it’s just like yours and Ang’s Sticks and Stones videos only you didn’t make it up!”

Sticks and Stones - Part V

The conversation that started from this post made me think now would be a good time for another video in the Sticks and Stones Series. You remember, the little experiment that Angelique from Breaking the Mirror (who, by the way, is the lovely actor in this clip) and I put together to see how you […]

Sticks and Stones - Part III

This comment came to us when Michael and I were having a drink with a very good friend of ours. It was in a loud, celebratory setting - not the kind of place that’s usually conducive or appropriate for soul-baring or hand wringing, but it struck us both hard enough that we felt compelled to […]
