rights shelter want
If you don't want women to do whatever they need to do then you must provide them with food, you must provide them with shelter and their basic human rights.
lying mean thinking
I don't think people understand that being poor means you have to work from dawn until dusk just to survive through the day. I think there's some notion that poor people lie about all day not doing anything.
pie faces satisfaction
You can't imagine what satisfaction can be gotten from throwing a pie into someone's face.
writing matter desks
Just write. It doesn't matter what you write. Just sit at your desk and write.
witty disease-and-death people
I was brought up by very witty people who were dealing with quite difficult things: disease and death... I was brought up by people who tended to giggle at funerals.
mean two fields
I don't mean being famous is a perk, because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk, but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like, I don't know, general friendliness and willingness to please, just to point out two.
family communication effective-listening
Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening.
mom two people
Once you're a mom, you've been split into two people. It's like Peter Pan and his shadow.
badass past care
Maybe I don't take myself so seriously any more. And I don't care how I'm judged. I'm past all that.
daughter mother morning
This morning, I went to wipe my hands on a tea towel, and while I was using it, it seemed like it felt a bit light. I unfolded it and realized my daughter had cut little bits out of it to make frocks for her dolls!
children advice ears
Children don't need much advice but they really do need to be listened to and not just with half an ear.
book reading thinking
I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them.
mean disability aspects-of-life
Being disabled should not mean being disqualified from having access to every aspect of life.
wish unfortunate humans
Its unfortunate and I really wish I wouldn't have to say this, but I really like human beings who have suffered. They're kinder.
