Hear Us Roar

No sooner had I posted my rant against Susan G Komen than I heard they had backed off. That is the good news and the bad. This has raised awareness in women enough to get them to speak out and has been the best fund raiser for Planned Parenthood. . . . .

The Race Against Women's Health

I try to keep the controversy down a bit here but I am furious about the action take by the Komen Foundation. If left without other response, it may cause more deaths from breast cancer not stop them. . . . .

Spring, is it coming? Then summer?

Today was a glorious sunny day in the 50's F. Little peeks of bulbs are coming through the ground and the dogwood tree has tiny bundles of leaves ready to break through any moment.
People were out walking their dogs with a spring in their step and smiles. Sunglasses were covering the faces of joggers and runners with baseball caps replacing winter hats. . . . .

At the moment I am listening to a politician with an acceptance speech on winning a primary. My reaction is visceral as I cannot accept the way in which our elections and nominations are being run. . . . .

Why WE May Just be Important
Posted 1/28/2012 - Suzanne Caplan | 5 comment(s)

Thank You for Seeing Me
Posted 1/26/2012 - Eileen Hopkins | 4 comment(s)
I just received word that a colleague and amazing woman has been moved to hospice. She is so wise and loving - it is difficult to accept that her time on this earth is coming to such a quick end.

At lose ends.....
Posted 1/25/2012 - Joanne Bolivar | 3 comment(s)
For some reason I feel aimless. It could be my SAD but I think it's the knowledge a new year has begun and all the projects, money and chores are not done.
