Germany in WWII

Musings of an Aging Lesbian

There was a program this week about WWII Europe. It shared letters that soldiers wrote to their wives back home. The program touched me deeply. I remember my father’s letters to my mother which was the impetus for my new play The Soldier and the Time Traveler. One day, about 10 years ago, my father

Musings of an Aging Lesbian

This has been a very difficult week politically which is affecting my life emotionally. Trump has been given a green light by congress to do whatever he darned well pleases, removing his guilt for his tremendous international crimes. His immediate response wad to fire those who testified in favor of the American people and against

THIS DAY IN LGBT HISTORY – DECEMBER 5

Musings of an Aging Lesbian Yesterday was such a good day. My friend (Isabelle who took my writing class last year) came over. We pretended we were at a coffee shop and just sat and wrote for hours! She’s working on a screenplay while I worked on my stage play Hunted. We both got a

THIS DAY IN LGBT HISTORY – DECEMBER 1

Musings of an Aging Lesbian I sit this morning in silence and wonder, looking out my windows to the snow-covered San Jacinto Mountains hovering over Palm Springs. My thoughts, my heart, go to the many friends I lost over 30 years ago to AIDS. I started working in the AIDS program in the Florida health

Musings of an Aging Lesbian Preparations for Thanksgiving…and yet I wonder how this holiday even came about. I know it was a time of gratitude for almost all religions after harvests and that it’s basically an English tradition from the 16th century. According to some historians, the first celebration of Thanksgiving in North America occurred

Musings of an Aging Lesbian I was asked in which place I prefer to live: Sequim or Palm Springs. Each certainly has its pros and cons. Pros for Sequim: it’s insane beauty, the fragrance of the air, our boat, our friends, our beautiful, cozy, sweet home which inspires me to write and which has full

Musings of an Aging Lesbian  We went to the Melisa Etheridge concert last night. A strange realization struck me: I know none of her songs and have never seen her in concert before. After the concert, I understood why. Her music is not mine. I’ve never been a fan of rocker music, ever, and I

THIS DAY IN LGBT HISTORY – NOVEMBER 14

Musings of an Aging Lesbian  Tonight is the Melissa Etheridge concert. I’ve never seen her in person but I remember being so impressed with her “Yes I Am” song about coming out. Generationally, I’d rather see Cris Williamson or Holly Near, the artists to whose music I came out in the 70’s. Melissa is more

Today in LGBT History – OCTOBER 10

Musings of an Aging Lesbian One of my favorite books is Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. I quote her often. This morning I read: Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness. I do believe it takes both truth and courage to age gracefully. My

Today in LGBT History – AUGUST 21

Rudyard Kipling said: If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten. The snippets of LGBTQ history here are the stories of our lives, the stories of the giants on whose shoulders we all stand. Learn about them then tell the stories and remember… because knowing your history IS resistance! Thanks
