I promise to post a picture soon, but I received the most beautiful necklace and flower from my nephew and his parents. They were for my birthday and are absolutely wonderful. Since moving to Renton, Wa, we have seen them for only a brief visit- which we cherish. So, this package was very special. The...

I watched Working Girl, again, the other night. It’s one of those movies that I have to sit down and watch whenever it comes on. I love the empowering message of the movie and the end is just the best happy ending. What I love most, is the scene with Melanie Griffith in her lingerie...

Dolores Huerta worked very closely with Cesar Chavez and helped found the United Farmers Union. In my home town of Phoenix, AZ, in 1972 she and Chavez coined the phrase, “Si Se Puede!” during his fast. Knowledge is power, and this powerful woman shows how beautiful knowledge can be.

This is why women and young girls have it bad. I read an article about Gwenyth Paltrow that questioned why the “serious” actress would come back from her hiatus to simply play a superhero’s secretary. It is 2008 and we are still downplaying secretaries. Really? Number one, Pepper is more than just a paper pusher....

I am going to be much better. So much has happened and I am working on redoing my blogs to go with the changes. I left Bellaonline and am now writing for Suite101, so you should start seeing some article links here soon. My writing is starting to pick up, so I will be working...

I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark in the theater when I was 6 years old. Back then, much like now, I had freckles. Back then I hated them. Everyone would call me Annie, who I absolutely could not stand. Some even called me Peppermint Patty, AHHHH! Then I saw Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood...
