life character thinking
We get a little further from perfection each year. I think that's called character. I think that's just how it goes.
girl wise wise-women
We are wise, wise women. We are giggling girls.
people suggestions freedom-of-the-press
All the wrong people have the power of suggestion and the freedom of the press is meaningless if nobody asks a question.
men mountain population
What we all have to admit to is that one man cannot save us. Unless we start energizing ourselves, all standing behind him with all of the force of our collective power then we can't expect mountains to be moved. And that is not exactly happening, we are a very comfortable population.
men world birth
In a man's world, I am a woman by birth and after 19 times around I have found - they will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth.
mistake generations radio
And I was shocked to see the mistakes of each generation will just fade like a radio station, if we drive out of range.
dream fall reality
The old farm roads a four lane that leads to the mall, and our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall.
thinking doing-what-you-love workaholic
I'm pretty much a workaholic, but when you're doing what you love it's hard to think of a reason to stop.
relationship want today
You've decided to love me for eternity, I'm still deciding who I want to be today.
fun fall animal
A little bird told me that jumping is easy and the falling is fun, right up until you hit sidewalk shivering and stunned.
regret sadness shadow
It's just hard to travel in the shadow of regret. In fact, it's so hard that I actually haven't left yet.
thinking swings years
I hope progressive ways of thinking will permeate the "mainstream" more and more in the coming years. Goddess knows we have endured a very long spell (thirty plus years) of regressive thinking and hyper conservativism dominating our culture and national discourse. It necessitates risk taking and rule breaking by people in all walks of life to swing that pendulum back though.
believe opportunity men
All the decent people, male and female, are feminists. The only people who are not feminists are those who believe that women are inherently inferior or undeserving of the respect and opportunity afforded men. Either you are a feminist or you are a misogynist. There is no box marked "other."
sadness emptiness solace
Emptiness has its solace in that there's nothing left to take.
