  • A Sleeping Beauty

    January 27, 2009

    • As I sat at the sewing machine the other day sewing some curtains for my daughter; it brought my mind back to the day when I was in my late teens.  Over four decades ago, and the first time I ever followed a pattern in sewing by making doll clothes for my youngest sister's  Barbie doll.  And I can see a pattern here in my life with dressing up and mothering children, especially girls.

  • Woman in power? Better watch your step

    May 13, 2008

    • As I watch the Democratic presidential campaign and realize with increasing dismay that it appears America will not get to cast its votes for or against the first female nominee, I’ve been thinking of how we as a culture, and history by and large, has engaged in a subtle, and, at times, not so subtle character assassination of women in power.
