"I have need of the sky. I have business with the grasses. I will up and away at the break of day to where the hawk is wheeling lone and high and where the clouds drift by."   - Richard Hovey, 1894-1961

The Beach!


A month ago, I spent the weekend with good friends at a beach house just south of Pescadero. It was gorgeous. Here are the Photos.

Happy V-Day!

No, not Valentine's! Not Velma...
Vagina!

a little history - www.vday.org/contents/vday/history
V-Day was born in 1998 as an outgrowth of Eve Ensler's play, "The Vagina Monologues." As Eve performed the piece in small towns and large cities all around the world, she saw and heard first hand the destructive personal, social, political and economic consequences violence against women has for many nations. It was clear that something needed to be done to stop the violence. A group of women in New York joined Eve and founded V-Day . . . a catalyst, a movement, a performance. V-Day’s mission is simple. It demands that the violence must end. It proclaims Valentine’s Day as V-Day until the violence stops. When all women live in safety, no longer fearing violence or the threat of violence, then V-Day will be known as Victory Over Violence Day.

The Vagina Monologues are produced every year around V-Day on college campuses across the world. If you have an opportunity to experience the Monologues, please do. I dare you. They have been a catalyst for my feminism, self-confidence and woman pride.

It may be a little late this year, but to find out where it's playing near you visit Vday.org. OR read the book. OR watch the DVD, also available on Netflix.

And at the very least read this speach by Jane Fonda National Women's Leadership Summit on June 12, 2003. She does a great job of summarizing what it is to be Vagina-Friendly.

Again, Happy V-Day!

Bath


Bath was my favorite part of my recent trip to the UK. It was definitely picturesque.
