Category Archives: freedomThe other day I wrote about a Barna survey that will be coming out with full documentation in about a year. The posted statistics are quite provocative as I (and several other women) noted. The data have raised a lot of criticism and left many women scratching their heads, thinking, “That’s not my experience, so [...]
The first rumble of something in the wind came late yesterday. I was tired. Grumpy even. The day had been empty and I was supposed to be able to sew all day after a busy weekend. But I ended up driving all day. So I sat on the sofa and was mad. It had been [...]
Every year I wrestle with Independence Day. I don’t know why I can’t just enjoy it … the sights, sounds, camaraderie, bon hommie, brownies and, of course, fireworks. No. I must wrestle with ideas. What is this day that we celebrate each year. Are we free? What does that mean? How does our freedom here [...]
What’s your superpower?
My superpower is tilting at windmills. From Wikipedia -
Tilting at windmills is an English idiom which means attacking imaginary enemies, or fighting unwinnable or futile battles. The word “tilt”, in this context, comes from jousting. (emphasis mine … for … well … emphasis).

As regular readers of this blog may be aware, I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Loved the books and loved the movies. I still read the books from time to time. And watch the movies over and over again. But I guess I don’t need to tell any of you that.

It’s been a [...]
The LightFamily’s favorite magazine is National Geographic. We all like it and read it/browse it for different reasons. LightBoy loves the articles about space and the ocean. LightGirl and LightHusband love the photography and the articles about far away places. Me, I love the articles about different cultures and people. So we all get something [...]
I seem to be a little dry lately and don’t have a lot to say, either in real life or here in on my blog. So I haven’t been saying much. That’s why you haven’t seen me around here very often. I have a feeling that might be changing soon (or not), I don’t know.

It’s just too bad she won’t accrue any benefits from it.
Maybe you remember Lilly from last year’s presidential campaign. Or if you’re really observant, from the news in May 2007. If you don’t, allow me to tell you a little bit of Lilly’s story.
Lilly Ledbetter worked for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company [...]
So …
Where were you when?
Where were you when John Glenn Neil Armstrong (thanks BroKen) walked on the moon?
Where were you when …
