Musings of an Aging Lesbian

Musings of an Aging Lesbian I turned 73 this week. It’s a weird number, 73. It’s nondescript. It’s not a special number. It falls in-between the X0 years and the X5 years. So nothing special happened for my 73rd birthday except I woke up healthy and happy and grounded and in love. Yes, we’re in

Musings of an Aging Lesbian

What strange times! The corona virus has changed lives, even if it’s just for a short time. All of my meetings, gatherings, classes, events have been cancelled, as have yours. This may be the very first time of my life when I have absolutely nothing on my calendar. It’s weird since my calendar usually pushes

My daughter’s birthday was yesterday, Feb. 1st. She’s 47. I remember that day – and night – since labor lasted well into the 18th hour before they knocked me out. (In 1973, doctors didn’t really think twice about using drugs on laboring women.) Ultimately, I was grateful. Berit was 8 pounds, 11 ounces…a big baby

About 15 years ago at my professional conference, Dr. Elizabeth Griego, Vice President of University of the Pacific, hosted a photo project. The project involved each of us to select a word that we thought represented us individually, then a photographer posed us in what he felt depicted our word in our being. My word

Today was the national Women’s March in cities all over the country. Kelly and I marched in Coachella, a sweet little town rather far east of Palm Springs. There were about 300 people, mostly Latinex folks, many of whom live in Coachella. It was small but exciting to see. Two items struck me. First, I

Today in LGBT History – March 4

We live in a world where most people still subscribe to the belief that shame is a good tool for keeping people in line. Not only is this wrong, but it’s dangerous. Shame is highly correlated with addiction, violence, aggression, depression, eating disorders, and bullying.    — Brené Brown Learning our history is resistance! Thanks for
