It is well known and well documented that women’s health issues have been under-studied as compared to men’s health issues. If you weren’t aware, or if you doubt it, just Google “male bias in medical research”. And this one I’m taking personally. Why? Because a part of the female anatomy has been “found” that might…
Living and working BY DEFAULT means choosing the easiest path, either by unconsciously resorting to bad habits (or merely old ones that no longer serve you), or by maintaining the status quo. Sometimes we seek to avoid the conflict that can come with making a change. Sometimes we…
Dear Menendez Supporter: I hope this is not how you are finding out about the death of Journalist Robert Rand. If it is, I know you will be as shocked as the rest of us were when we learned the news earlier this month. It is the end of an era. Sadly, Bob…
Artists, crafters, and teachers: Do you have a creative mess? Do you feel inspired by it? Or overwhelmed?

I was struggling to put together my February newsletter. My writing group asked: What do you usually do when you’re stuck on what to include? I replied: Well, usually I have a new blog post to offer. But I haven’t been inspired to write a new one lately. Then I remembered that I’d been gathering…
