For The Love of A Woman - International Women's Day

A woman is bold
she is strong
she is courageous
she is everything and more!

A woman is dainty
a woman smells pretty
she thinks long and hard
and comes with a neat little bow

A woman is scrappy
she can wash the dishes
scrub the floor
plunge her hands into the dirt
and tell it like it is!

A woman drives you crazy
puts you in your place
and teaches you a damn good lesson

A woman is tall
she is short
she is average
rich or poor
and knows how to say just the right thing

Mother Nature....a woman!
Mother of God...a woman!
and Peace, also a woman!

You'll lay it on the line for a woman
drop what your doing for a woman
and put your tail between your legs
for a woman!

A woman is skinny
she is fat
she is curvy
she is all that!

Marlene, Marilyn, Madonna, Gaga
Woman, Woman, Woman, Woman!

A woman will roar
she will scream
she will pull your hair out
and sometimes
tear you a new asshole

But a woman is also soft
she is tender
she is caring
and the one you can count on

A woman is our mother
our sister
our friend
and our whole reason for living

A woman shines brightly
puts on her best face
she multi tasks
and takes no shit!

she can carry a baby in one arm
and rule the world with the other!

A woman is a worker
a CEO
a Superstar
a Hero
she is Prime Minister
and the fucking Queen of England!

Bat Woman, Cat Woman, Electra Woman, Wonder Woman!

For the love of a Woman!

Treading the Election and Life

Tuesday, November 8, 2016 I sat on the couch Election Night feeling more anxiety than I had ever known.  I didn’t want to believe what was happening but there it was right before my eyes, the electoral map, on my local NBC channel looking like someone wrapped it in red Christmas paper.  I tried to stay hopeful and kept repeating in my head "Hillary, Hillary, Hillary".  I managed a quick nap around midnight, holding out hope that Lovey would wake me up and say “She did it, Hillary is President!” but it never happened.  I woke up about 15 minutes later and it ended up that I was the one nudging her awake around 1am/1:30 saying “let’s go to bed, it’s not looking good” just after they called Florida to the other side.  So we frumped our way upstairs to bed where I lay wide awake for a long time with my mind all a whir. The next day I was feeling very disappointed so I limited my social media browsing and did not watch the news except to see Hillary’s speech, which made me cry.  

"Lifted" the video and poem dedicated to Sisterhood

I wrote this poem after spending an hour with a few of my female artistic friends.  We discussed poetry, art, life, and when I got home I felt this overwhelming feeling of inspiration and joy!  Yes!  Joy!  It's like we all shared our energy while we were together.  I just had to write my feelings down.  The words came out of me so easily thinking of my own Sisters and the friends I consider to be Sisters from other Misters.  I wrote the poem in one sitting and a few weeks later I got the idea to record my voice reading it and create a video using photos.  I put a call out on my facebook feed and asked female friends to send me photos of themselves with their Sisters or with their BFFs that they considered Sisters or with women they were inspired by.  The ladies sent me some great images and I used a bunch of my own for fill ins to create this video.  This is definitely one of those labor of love or labor of inspiration times.  Please watch and share!  Words are posted below.
