Two Maple Keys: Future Guilt
http://twomaplekeys.blogspot.com/2015/05/future-guilt.html
Oh woman / remember who you are / woman / it is the whole earth. Sunday, May 24, 2015. Name it; claim it. I am going to identify this harmful habit and hopefully begin to dig it out of my life. I bought a cookbook yesterday and stopped by the grocery store to buy a few ingredients to make a frittata and a broccoli salad. As I walked from the car to my door I heard myself say, "This is the sort of thing I should do all the time. Ugh. Why am I so bad at cooking good things for myself? Future Guilt is shock...

http://twomaplekeys.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-last-five-years-and-next.html
Oh woman / remember who you are / woman / it is the whole earth. Monday, September 8, 2014. The Last Five Years. And the Next! I'm a multiples of five kind of girl. Love me some 5s, 10s and 15s. This Fall marks the five-year anniversary of my re-start in Portland. Five years ago I started dating this lovely man named Peter. Five years ago I began teaching theater to tiny tots. Some things change; others stay the same. The Return of the Haiku! Rising like a red. Balloon, she skims the High School,. 8220;T...

Oh woman / remember who you are / woman / it is the whole earth. Friday, September 26, 2014. There are days when I feel that I am rocking this whole grown-up thing. Exhibit A: List O' Things. Went to the doctor for an annual physical exam and got a flu shot! Scheduled a bill payment and had a conversation with Father about investment. Put away dishes and washed other dishes. Made french toast with homemade challah bread with husband. Exhibit B: List O' Other Things. Had a solo and delicious breakfast.

Two Maple Keys: March 2014
http://twomaplekeys.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Oh woman / remember who you are / woman / it is the whole earth. Monday, March 3, 2014. There's a physical thrill that runs through me when the moon returns. "Hello Lady." I might say. Or even, "Dear Mother, there you are! I needed this gentle nudge tonight. I am struggling to free myself from the mindset that life is a straight line. I reject that! Now, I am gathering my body to myself, patting it down and reminding it of our power. There is no more impatience, no more frustration that I let it all ...

Two Maple Keys: July 2013
http://twomaplekeys.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Oh woman / remember who you are / woman / it is the whole earth. Monday, July 8, 2013. Oh hey, just kicking gender norms to the curb. What are you doing? Sunday, July 7, 2013. I didn't check my email this whole vacation week. Not once! And then this evening, standing in my kitchen, making my dinner, I started to get anxious. My mind began racing through all the things I need to make sure I'm on top of when I go back into work tomorrow. The red flashing alarm lights started going off in my head! 8220;Fema...

Oh woman / remember who you are / woman / it is the whole earth. Sunday, July 13, 2014. Sometimes, a little nap is all you need. All you need to remember that life is not hopeless. That all your future choices are not laid out in plain sight like cards on a table. There is still mystery. There is still a bend in the road. Oh, there's another bend in the road at their end," answered Anne lightly. "I've no idea what may be around it - I don't want to have. It's nicer not to know.". View my complete profile.

Two Maple Keys: January 2014

Oh woman / remember who you are / woman / it is the whole earth. Sunday, January 19, 2014. I don't know why I love quotes so much! Yes, I do. It's because someone else has looked inside of me and said, here, let me put that thing into actual words rather than colors or feelings or sounds. Or it's because I read something and I have that wonderful "aha! Or "yeah, yeah! Did you know that the "yeah, yeah! Moment is what women's consciousness raising groups were all about? 8220;I hope you will go out and let...

Oh woman / remember who you are / woman / it is the whole earth. Sunday, September 8, 2013. How would you feel if, "every time a professor says 'womankind' she means, of course, 'all humanity'? When one enrolls in a seminar on 'The Doctrine of Woman' the professor intends at least to deal with men also. When one sings of the Motherhood of God and the Sisterhood of Woman, one breathes a prayer that all men as well as women will come to experience true sisterhood.". How did she relate to God? I want to lea...

Oh woman / remember who you are / woman / it is the whole earth. Sunday, February 2, 2014. Head up, eyes open. I've been reminded recently of how wide open my life is. There's this beautiful Clarissa quote (there's always a beautiful Clarissa quote):. I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.
