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 […]

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.

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, […]

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 […]
